Amelia Henry, Librarian The object of this article is not to report on the ways and means by -which our present condition has been obtained; a report which would in clude appreciation of the whole-hearted support of the many who have made tho Library what it is. Rather it -is to make a statement of the equipment at tho beginning of the New Year. As a city institution we realize that wo qwc a very definite return for the su'nport given by the peonle of Ban don. It is not enough merely to eir cul.afc fiction and furnish a reading room.. We have taken for our aim "The greatest good to the greatest number." The librarian of Congress says '!A library is the place to ask ques tions." And Miss Marvin of tho Staie Library writes us, "Any one can cir culate books'. The important thing is to keep people interested and to con stantly increase the usefulness of the 111 rjuy." For this reaso.i we mal.e i social arrangements to ac commodate teachors, and str.da.its, wht tlu pupils or not: . For some moat::, last summar we had i box of Kj-'i.'y-five books at Croino's (.' rap ti , .'urthcr activit'.ci nlo - ; '.' o have also placed mi. y ur . 1.1 uutitry homes. u i ', Die pat yer wo huvr fiv hii. d.' .'il books and bou.n. ur. . ci" magazines to our c' cards were filed; in DecemL'or forty- one. Over five hundred cards arc now in force. A book given to the Library will afford pleasure and profit to many people. The othor day three little sisters came to -the dosk bringing three books, saying "Wo have enjoyed the Library books so much we want to give .these for othor children to en joy." Many children and many adults have given generously but, like Oliver Twist, we cry for "more." We need more. Our Story Hour is popular and we entertain about forty children each Thursday at 3:30 P. M . Once we made room for sixty, and when there were othor diversions, like Santa Claus at the store, the stories were told to less than six. While the cen tral idea is entertainment the chil dren learn the points of difference in the folk tales of many lands. They learn the ways of plants, inserts and .mimals and some of tho stories, ''Peter Pan." for instance, are of real Visitors to the rending toafn find five daily newspapers, several week lies and more tha.i ihMy different magazines on the'rasks d. d tables. These are ill circulated extv?pt the numbers of the current month. "' Here "again, is an opportunity for those willing to take a little trouble, to help us. We aro frequently asked for the Metropolitan,' Cosmopolitan, McClures, St. Nioholns, Collier and others. Under present financial con-, ditions we cannot onlarge our sub scription" list and wo should be most crateful to have those magazines brought in rugularly after the home rondinir. To those iot.faniiliar with the Li brary I wjlladd that all visitors are very welcome; Tho hours aro from 2 to G and 7 -to 0 each afternoon. On Sunday books are not circulated and during the summer the reading room is closed 6n Sunday. GOVERNOR WEST REVOKES PAROLE GIVEN TO LA FRANCE The parole "of J. C.
