PUBLIC LIBRARY.
TO TUB EDITOR. g; r —I wa s about to make myself ono of the band of grumblers against the Public Library system when the sporting, spirited letter in your paper appealed to mv. better feelings. Instead, I would prefer to suggest a possible way out of the difficulty. Though only a high school boy I consider myself to be a fair reader, and my taste is naturally of the popular kind. For the last 10 days I have Visited the library several times with a number of books in mind, and .still I cannot procure one of them. With the public allowed to take such an unlimited supply of books the popu! ir shelves will naturally be drained, ti..s being, I conclude, what so many people are growling against. If a mere schoolboy be allowed to give an opinion I should suggest that the popular books which are so much in demand should be limited to the taking of one at a time. This could be accomplished by their being distinguished from the rest in some way, making them recognisable to the girl at the counter. — T am, etc.. Hopeful. October 1,
