' Bandcm's Piilic. Library
From Small Start This Institution Has Grown To Oae of
Which Our Citizens Ate Justly Proud.
Uy F. 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

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.
