The public library of Millburn, has just received a new consignment of
books. It is the section on Scotland and contains some fine reading
matter. Some of our members have as yet drawn no books, and have
neglected to pay the membership fee of ten cents a quarter, or forty
cents a year which is necessary to keep up the current expenses of the
library. Heretofore the money paid in has been insufficient to allow
the Librarian any compensation for the time and labor expended in that
capacity. R. S. Strang is the Librarian for the coming three months,
and will harbor the books and do the work without compensation. If any
money comes in, over the running of expenses, it will be kept to start
the new year, July 1, and pay someone to keep and care for the books.
We would suggest that the members pay their forty cent fee at one time,
instead of ten cents every three months, thereby saving themselves and
the Librarian much trouble. This library is a good thing and we are
sorry to see it neglected for lack of interest. The directors are doing
their part, and we thing the members should be more prompt in responding
to the privileges and requirements of their membership.
