THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
We all believe in public libraries. We frequently discuss the library we are to get "bye and bye." We do not find that it is helping the boys and girls who are growing up in our town now. Will the next generation need it more than this? Will the children of the next generation be dearer to us than the boys and girls that now cheer our firesides? Will they use a library better because their parents have not had such privileges?
We all want a library, for ourselves, for our neighbors, for the good name of our village. Why not get it now and be getting the good out of it?
It is only a question of method.
The library when built should benefit all the people, and therefore it should be built by all the people. Give us all a chance to help, and then the library will belong to all of us.
