THE LYTTELTON LIBRARY.
To the Editor of the Globe. Sib, —Our Town Library has now changed hands, so far as its management is concerned, and I hope for the better. The gentlemen who have undertaken to carry it on I am certain have done so determined, if possible, to ro-open the public reading-room, as it was in times past, free to the use of sailors and visiting strangers, and in that determination they will have, I trust, the sympathy and the support of the townspeople. I was one who voted to bring the library under the Act recently, but I am not one of those—if any there be—who, because that proposal was defeated, wish any harm to the society. I think still that that course will come into favour yet soma day, and hope to have another chance to vote for it. By the way, I notice that for Auckland province alone £849 17s 9J was voted in grants to libraries by the Government last session, and this sum was divided between sixty-three libraries in that province recently. I am, &c., A READER. Lyttelton, May 29 :h, 1830.
