Shall The Library Remain Open

The Library Association held a special meeting Monday afternoon in the Ladies' library to consider what could be done for the further maintenance of the library. Owing to the very disagreeable weather there was only a small attendance. It was decided that, unless the subscribers and friends rally to its support, the library will have to be closed except on one day of the week. This would be a great disappointment to those who have come to enjoy its privileges, and it would be with much regret that such a change would be made.

In order to make one more effort to raise the necessary money, the library will be open as heretofore until January 1, and all subscribers and other friends sufficiently interested are asked to give at least 50 cents each. This amount may be handed to the librarian at the library. If the amount thus raised is not sufficient to meet expenses until January 1, the library will thereafter be closed except on Saturdays.
