Herts County Library
The Buntingford centre was formally opened on Tuesday last at 6 p.m. at the Parish Room by Mr Claud Fraser, Chairman of the Library Committee, when a large number of the new members gathered to inspect and select from the 100 books which form the first instalment from the County Library.
Mr Fraser expressed his satisfaction that there had been such a hearty response to this new effort, and his hope that the fullest advantage would be taken of its benefits.
The Rev. L.W. Wright also spoke with appreciation of the scheme, and the Rev. A. Howard said that he was glad the Parish Room should be used for such a purpose.
The Library was then declared open, and in a short time 50 of the books, which include fiction, travels and biographers, were in circulation. The membership is already 81, and a fresh supply of cards is necessary.
The Library will be open from 6 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday till further notice. The books may be kept a fortnight without charge, after which a charge is made of 2d. weekly.
The Librarian will welcome suggestions of any special books, which can be applied for before the next instalment is sent out.
