The Wilmington Library. There is no question but that the Wihiifngtou Library- Association, under the able management of Capt. W. H. Hixby, in in a, far, better: con dition than' itiever- has been i pre viously in theJ hlftory of that insti tution. From a report drawn up by him recently, which is to be submit ted to the Board tf Directors', we get the following facts: j The Library Association has made excellent progress since- last year. Then there were only 51 nayin members-inow there are 119; a gain of 150 per ceiit.u.There are; now 177 diflferext magazines on its tables, of whlch l are bought and the rest loaned by members. 'Ab6utl20 vol unies of general literature, a "Targe number.of public documents a com plete . set of Coast Survey reports and 400 maps, and a copy of the En cyclopedia Brittanica have, been-re-ceived during the past year. The Library has also been a U. S. public depository of governmental publi cafTons. A tabled three table covers, eleven-book cases, four periodical cases'twerity newspaper files, two newspaper racks, and a transpar ency have been added to the furni ture, while the old book cases land newspaper. cases have been remod elled and painted. , About twenty pictures have been mounted and fix eil upon the walls: and the old car pet relaid in a neat manner. The books have been; all , taken several times from their shelves, cleaned, repaired, replaced and arranged -in systematic order according" to .their subject matter and order. A list has been made of the entire collec tiou, aud a card catalogue has been added o enable f persons- to ..- find quickly and readily any boolv in the library. This card catalogue is equa in thoroughness! to that of any library in the United, States. Visitors to the library (and they are increasing in numbers each day) are beginning to j appreciate the! use and value of a strained librarian and ours s one of the best in j the country. !)ne-square advertisements have beei l inserted in all "the daily papers, over 10.000 circulars as to the libra y have been distributed aboat the city, arid everything done to invite ijhe public to the rooms. A series of eight stereopticori lectures and two cpncertsj have been given under the, auspices of the Library during the past-year. -. This library is a credit to the city and should by all means be encour aged and sustained. Capt. Bixby's efforts have been a labor of love and not of money. He is anxious to see It placed upon a highjplane of usefuluess and profit to its members and he has therefore freely given of his- time and jTenergy to accom plishso "desirable a result. There is every encouragement; nov: to hope for'a - geater l degree yot 43ro"sperity next year,-, and -with .this . end in new, arrangements will be made for , a , series of pleasing entertain ments d unng the Winter.'
