This library was imuginted ona small scale about 1858, by con- tributions of books from members of the two lodges, the first. donation be. ing made by Geo. Merritt. In 1864, the lodges determined to make it a valuable library, and to that end purchased five hundred volumes of standard works of history, science, and tietion. Since that time additions have been made yearly nutil at present the library contains 1,370 volumes.
