LIBRARY OPEN
SUNDAYS NOW
New Schedule Gives Ac
cess To Books 4 To 6
Sunday Afternoons
For the first time in the history
of the institution, at least, for the
first time in ten years, the reading
rooms of the Carnegie library were
thrown open to the reading public
last Sunday afternoon between the
hours of 4 and 6. Miss Carrie
Speer, who wna recently elected li
brarian in the place of Miss Vriginia
Gunn, resigned, was in charge of the
books.
"It is just possible that the impor-
tanec of this announcement has not
fully dawned upon the reading pub
lic, said an official of tho library
I‘ » a splendid opportu-
nity to spend tho afternoon hours
quietly and in the pursuit of things
Interesting and beneficial The II-
brary shelves contain many volumes
of splendid reading matter that will
appeal to evenr one. There art-
books of lata fiction for those who
care for this clans of literature, anil
there are hooka of travel and adven-
turo for those who, not situated so
•hat they themselves mny enjoy
sightseeing over the world, may yet
vif;w it from tho Anglo of others
more fortunate. Books aro listed
containing the worid’a subllmcst
poetry and prose, and books of bird
life and nnlmal life. There are
works of John Burroughs, that be-
loved naturalist, who died recently,
with his heart as young as in the
days of his youth.
An unmomentous fact to manv
perhaps, yet at 30 years of age,
when he first saw a bird which he
had been hoping nil his life to see,
appeared to him, the news was tele-
KroplX'd nil over the United Status."
Souther Field, also will share in
the benefit from the library. A li-
brary for the use of the employees
there is being arranged, and as soon
as the necessary cataloguing can be
done, the books will be ready for
tant a factor in their after life.
Late periodicals are kept on the
magazine racks, and these prove of
great interest to a wide sphere, es
pecially to tho business man or wo
man, who has not always sufficient
time to ready a lengthy article. In
tho magazine* will be found current
article* condensed Into the space
best fitted for this need. As soon
a* this become* practicable, because
of other pressing work of getting in
the books which are In the homes to

these periodicals and magazines, will
be published so that patrons mav
know what the racks contain.”
