OCR PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The Douglas Woman’s Club ha?
taken the initiative in securing a
free public library tor Douglas and
Coffee County.
Of course we all want a public li
brary and know the benefit to bo
derived from one. The Carnegie
fund is no longer availab’e, so will
have to set to work and obtain this
V
library ourselves.
Other towns around us, some even
smaller than Douglas, already have
a free, public library, aside from the
cultural and educational advantage?
to be gained from such an institu
tion.
Putting it on a commercial foot
ing a library would be an asset. In
cities real estate agents always ad
vertise the presence of a library if
there should be one adjacent or near
the property advertised. Now that we
are reaching out for new citizens, the
possesion of a library would be a fine
recommendation for us.
The club has accumulated a small
sum of money and several hundred j
books and we find that we have gone
as far as wo can until we have a ’
larger building and a maintenance
fund. Libraries, like the schools,
should be hupported by the people,
not regarded as a charity nor a lux
ury, hut rather as a necessity and be
maintained in the same manner that
the schools, parks, fire department
and public roads are maintained,
through the tax levy.
Where all contribute the burden i?
not felt. A SHOO tax on a town of
300 people is equivalent to about Hi
cents for each resident. For this
amount a pleasant reading room, a
dozen or more of the best periodicals,
a collection of the best books such as
only a very few of the most wealthv
can possess as individuals, and about
S2OO worth of new books each year
can be had. •
Shall we be loyal to the city of our
home? The -opportunity is at hand
to answer this question.
Wp have passed the stage of a
country town and are ranked and
catalogued as a modern, progressive
city, enjoying many of the advanta
ges of the larger cities.
