Notice to Members of the Reading
Circle of the Woman’s Club:
Please deliver all books now in
your possession to their owners, in
stead of sending them to the next
in line, as has been done for
months. The new books will be
placed in circulation at once. Should
you not have read all the old ones,
borrow them personally from the
owners. Pass on the new ones just
as before to the one whose name
follows yours on the list found in
each book.
