Building Dedicated August 16, WESIERLf LIBRARY 20 YEARS IN USE 1894—Increase from 5,000 to 35,000 Volumes—Fourth Annual Tag Day Successful— Local Laconics. The Westerly Memorial aad Library building was formally dedicated twen- ty years ago—August 16, 1894, and has long since become the leading ed- ucational institution in this section. The building has been enlarged by the addition of a large stack room and art room and its general usefulness has increased many fold. At the open- ing of the building Bthan Wilcox, the present librarian emeritus, had charge of the library, and James E. Kennedy who worked as carpenter in the con- struction of the bullding, was engaged as janitor and has held the position ever since. These two constituted the entire working force of the institution, except on Saturdays when Miss Fan- nie Wilcox assisted her father as li- brarian and during the winter months when Arthur M, Weeden served as assistant janitor. Then there were 5000 volumes in the library for circu- lation and now there are over 35,000 together with a large collection of books of reference, and queries and rare books and pamphlets; as well as many articles of historical inter- est; also, works of art, a large col- lection of minerals, all of educational interest. There has also been added a_juvenile department that contains about as many books as were in the entire library twenty years ago. The working force of two has been neces- sarily increased in keeping with the growth and influence of the library and is composed as follows: Ethan_Wilcox librarian emeritus, Joseph L. Peacock, librarian: Miss Fannie Wilcox, Miss Marie C. Ban- grandi, Mies 'Alice E. Kennedy, Miss Natalie §. Hazard, Miss Sally E. Coy and Miss Agnes F. Bodie, as- sistant librarians, Miss Kennedy be- ing in charge of the juvenile depart- ment. James E. Kennedy is janitor and Arthur M. Weeden assistant jan- itor. An old time hotel man, now retired and summering in Westerly, remarked that there has been a decrease in “ho- tel bums” since his retirement from hotel management. _He says that as a rule the summer hotel is practical- ly freed from this class of visitors, Dbut not so in a place less than a thousand miles from Westerly. Some years ago there was a publisher of a weekly newspaper who was accustom- ed to invite a friend to dinner at one of the summer resorts and instead of settling at the counter he would in- troduce his friend, to the hotel pro- prietor, or his representative.- This was an almost daily occurence asd he made the rounds of all the hotels. In the same town, says the retired hotel man, there is ‘an unwritten law that each of the fourteen hotels shall furnish at least one dinner during the season to a town councilman and his wife. As there are soven councilmen, it means that each hotel furnishes fourteen dinners free to the oficial Tepresentatives of the town each sea- son. Of course the hotel proprittor receives these special guests courte- ously, gives them the best the hotel affords and invites them to come again. One of these gave expression of all the rest when he retired to his private office and muttered. “The nerve of those councilmen is only equalled by the hypocricy of hotel men, when th ‘ome again!’ Monday was tag day, the fourth an- nual for the Westerly Visiting Nurse the evening they solicited money in ald of the meritorious work that is being done by the association. Pedis- trians and automobilists contributed pennants_predominated. In the even- ing the Westerly band contributed a concert in Dixon square and consider- able money was collected in the crowd. 1t is estimated that the fund will be increased $500 by the tag day contri- butions. —_— Local Laconies.
