LIBRARY ANNUAL MEETING OF AS TORIA LIBRARY ASSOCIA TION INTERESTING RE PORTELECTION OFFICERS. The annual meeting and election of officers of the Astoria Public Li brary Association was held yester day afternoon and several matters were discussed. The president's re port was submitted as follows: "To the officers and members of the A. P. L. Association: "The other officers and chairman of committees will give detailed reports of the work accomplished during 1907, so I will confine my report to a general review of the conditions as they are at the end of the year. "The regular income from the city tax has been augmented by the dues from the city tax has been augmented by the dues from subscriptions anditributed to be used for library pur largely for the running expenses of the library including the large num ber of magazines and newspapers kept on file. The number of book purchased this year is a matter for sincere coneratulation. While we have catered to a degree to the great call for contemporary fiction, the purchase of standard reference book has been in excess of the lighter form of literature, and the value of the lihrarw tn those studiously inclined has been much increased thereby The board of directors has made an effort to ourchase such reference books as will be of csncial help to the High School pupils and those who are doing special work in literary or scientific lines. The Kinney 1'und has been devoted exclusively to such a line of reading matter, with tli jdea that it will be a fitting memorial to the donor. The tact that almost $200 of that fund remains intact is evidence that this invaluable depart ment will soon be materially in creased. "The fixtures belonging to the read ing rooms have been augmented by the purchase of cases sufficient for the entire wall space in the reference department room. Their usefulness and convenience is apparent. "The matter of making the library free to the public has been determin ed on beginning with February 1, 1908. The generally prosperous con dition of the institution seemed to warrant such an undertaking for a year at least and to be continued in definitely should circumstances per mit. This move is cause for congrat ulation since it means the attainment of an ideal, entertained by the origin ators of the library movement in As toria. It is sincerely to be hoped that the financial support to entertain ments and kindred money-raising de vices will be sufficient to continue the library on the free plan. I wish to offer the suggestion that the next time funds are needed for the library that those enjoyed the privileges of the institution, the patrons and friends of the library, be appealed to, to help the book fund directly, without re sorting to an entertainment to raise money. I believe it will meet with general approval, for all money con- Your Regular Custom Is what we want and we will try to merit it by selling you good, clean Groceries, and Riving you prompt service and Courteous Treatment.
