Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 80, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 June 1901 — New Books for the Library. [ARTICLE]

New Books for the Library.

Over fifty new books were added to the Public Library Saturday. The list contains the latest books by the best authors in poetry, fiction and art. About an equal number of books are expected to arrive very soon and which will make a total of about 150 new books added within the last three months. The officers of the library think that the patrons of the library have not made as much use of the Century Dictionary as its merit deserves, The work is very complete and comprises eight large volumes with an additional volumn for proper names and another being a complete atlas so that a person by consulting this Dictionary is enabled to find the complete definition and use of any word in the English language, or a short biography of any person of any prominence or the location of any place however remote.
