Mrs. W. M. Stewart, president of the library committee, submitted t heir report as follows: " This year's w ork of the Woman's ( lull for t he establishing of a Hood Klver Library will go djwn In future history. Meetings have been called luring: Jt he year w hen business de manded and I U-lieve that little time or strength has been spent on that w hich has not been for a permanent result "At the beginning of our work for the Club year tie." park and library committee could not give up an al most lost hope that the street now so proudly show n as a park and li brary site should In some way be procured If possible for that purpose. Two years ago these same commit tees had met w ith complete failure In their efforts to secure tbe right from all property owners touching this street to present a petition to the council asking for It to be set aside for this purpose, but the appeal was again made and with some conces sions the signatures were secured aud the chairman of the park committee and myself appeared before the coun cil and as you all know were success ful. Another task of the library com mittee w as the preparing of a ijuan tity of petitions for a library tax to be presented to every tax payer In this county, asking the county court Into n contract with the city for a I county library. This ordinance passed and Miss Marvin, secretary of the State Library Hoard, was called again and met the new board at tw o special meetlugs of the county court aud the contract was entered i.pon for a Hood Kiver County Library. The board consists of six members, with the county court or judge and commissioners always as ex-otliclo memliers: L. H. Huggins, president; Mrs. Wm Stewart, vice-president; I'rof. .1. O. McLaughlin, secretary arid treasurer, with Miss McLaren and .1. 1'. Lucas ns members of the board. The board has met and committees have leen appointed for Inning books and securing rooms, and Miss Marvin has been Instructed to send us desirable applicants for a lirst class librarian of experience to be here by the middle of August. The Hood Klver County Libr'iry will open Sept. 1st, and the library board expects the library committee of the Woman's Club to be their right hand support, ns well as every member of this club. The board, as soon as books nre purchased will enter Into negotia tions with the Carnegie Commission for a building, which we w ere ad vised to not do until estal llshed In rooms, as Carnegie does not build a home for books until the people have made some effort on their part to ward a library.
