During Christmas week, the library decoration of greens and wreaths was attractively enhanced by a charming ever- green ball which was given by the Camp Fire group.


A photograph collection of beautiful Madonnas familiarly known and admired, adorned the interior at that time also.


To the many loyal patrons of the library who have again contributed flowers, magazines and books, and to the working staff who have faithfully ministered to the reading public, the Trustees extend sincere appreciation and thanks.


Respectfully submitted, For the Trustees, FANNIE A. SANDERSON, Secretary.
