The year just ending has been one of great activity for the library. We have welcomed many new friends and patrons. But we hope to welcome many more in the year to come. You probably have a friend or neighbor who does not now use the library or know of its advantages. Will you not as a Christmas act, bring at least one such friend to the ' library? Or, if more convenient, give ■is his or Iter name. We will then send an invitation to come to the 11- . brary, using your name or not as you . may prefer. F emember that it is the right and - privilege of every resident to make - free use of the Decatur Public Li- , brary. With best Christmas wishes. Your Public Library. Annette L. Moses, 302 2tx Librarian.
