Concerning 11 luhllr Library
A week since The News contained an
address to the public signed by the super
intendent of our schools ou behalf of tho
Norfolk Public Library association It
consisted essentially of three questions
and discussion of them was invited but
though a week has elapsed there has not
so far been auy response Whether it
be because the people are so occupied
with other and more pressing questions
or whether interest in a public library
has declined or whether it be because
of a lack of confidence in tho methods
of the association to secure oue the re
result is the same there is no response
to the address
Iu the last paragraph of the address
it is stated that the appeal is made in
the interest of the young men and
women of Norfolk But already there
is an iustitutiou for young meu would
it not if this is the scope of the associa
tions aim be better to enlarge the asso
ciation somehow already iu existence by
including young women aud a library
A public library will mean of course
other premises with a librarian but
why iucur that expense if it be possible
to utilize successfully said existing prem
ises aud an existing oilicer
To spend 250 iu fixing upou its pres
ent site the old Catholic church would
be very imprudent Iu 19 months it
must be removed and the removal must
involve uew fixing aud repairs Where
it is it would be unpopular ns a public
library True the school is close by but
the boys and girls do not live there
The library and its locatiou must I e
popular to besuccessful aud to be suc
cessful it must be central Tho building
cannot be brought into the business part
of towu For the purposes of tho asso
ciation the better plan seems to be to
utilize some of the vacant offices down
town aud for librarian the services of
some man whoso time now is ouly
partly occupied Citizen
