The library was moved from the second floor of the House to the first floor, early in' July of last year. The new room is more comfortable and convenient for the patrons of the library, and the change is a decided improvement. The library has at present 526 reg ular readers, while 900 people have taken out books during the year, and 8,078 books have been circulated. The lihrary contains 3,149 bound volumes, Including the government re porta. We have also a reading-room well stocked with the beet of magazines and have been privileged to give away some hundreds of magazines to sick people and others who were unable to come to the building. The greatest need of the library and one most keenly felt 1* the lack of readable books for children from 10 to 16 years of age. Last year a special effort was made to secure books for these children which resulted in about 75 books be ing given. These were good books and were enthusiastically received by the children. The fairy tales hare been worn to tatter*, In spite of the best effort* oj th* librarian to preserve them. The library is also in need of soma new games for the children. The entertainment hall, since it has been up stairs, has Increased its use fulness —It has been need for various meetings by the church and It has been rented for a variety of entertain ments with mdttterent success. The SUNDAY, MAY 10. Lawn Kimonos 500 dozen, large floral designs, all sizes, in this jb ai Wc hall was used last fall for the sewing room, operated under the auspices of the Associated Charities. Some of the young people of the neighborhood organized as the “Mo hawk Dramatic club,’’ have managed by various entertainments to raise 895.00 of the $125.00 necessary for the building of the stage up stairs, with two comfortable dressing-rooms for the stage, putting in electric lights, etc. Through the kindness of the Rev. Mr. Prescott, the bathing pool has been put in perfect order, with a new coat of cement and a new floor around it. The pool is by no means neglect ed by' the boys. From Mrs. Wm. H. Brigham we have received a fine stove and a car pet for our library—both gifts have added much to the comfort. From Miss M. C. Cuthbert we have received some rustic chairs. We have received books this year from Mrs. Cumming. Mrs. Massengale, Mrs. Mikell, Mrs. Jacob Phinizy, Mrs. Heard, Jfrs. Brigham. Mrs. Smith Ir vine, Mrs. Mason, Miss Cuthbert, the Rev. Mr. Prescott, and others. , Magazines have been given to., -e library In quantities; the Augusta Herald regularly, and the comic pa pers! the especial joy of the children) have been sent us regularly by Mrs. Heard, Mrs. St. John Moore, and tho Misses Smith.
