Since the library opened there has been a constant Increase in the num ber of those who avail themselves of its privileges, nnd It is still reaching out and extending Its usefulness. When it was llrst opened a few years ago it had 1(1,000 books, and that number has since grown to 2'j.OOO. Librarian Curr said yesterday that less books would be added to the library this year than last, as the fund subscribed by the citizens of Seranton is almost exhausted and there Is now only the money to be re ceived from the city to make use of. "We shall endeavor," said Mr. Carr, "tobuild up the Industrial and neleintilic side to the library during the next few years. Tliie is n great Industrial com munity whose future must be closely al lied to Its inuuufiictoi'U s of all kinds.

"We already have the nucleus of a medical library," remarked Mr. Carr, "pointing to the Throop collection in tin- galliy. "which may develop into a most valuable feature of the library." "What are your plans for extending the work of the library?" asked the re porter. ' "Well, as to that, I would like to see a distributing agency connected with the libra ry lo?ate l In Giv. a ltid;? Providence, Hyde Park and the South Side, but such additions would increase the expense of the library about $5,000, and as the city has many Increased appropriations to meet this year we made no request in our estimate to councils for money to extend the work of the library in the matter of estab lishing these distributing agencies."
