The library has passed another successful year. Several permanent improvements have been made. A water supply has been added, and the building connected with a sewer, which also provides for taking away all the storm water from the roof. The

metal work of the jets has been painted and the brick work oiled. Window and door screens have been provided, and the grounds have been ornamented by the planting of shrubs.


The library is being much used in connection with our school system, and an addition of books, selected with special reference to the needs of the schools will be made at once.
