Show Great Increae In Fnblio Wbrarie. The New Hampshire law providing for the establishment of free publio libraries li-braries through the agency of a board of library commissioners was passed in 1891. At that time there were 60 towns and cities in the state maintaining free libraries, and 173 were without any. The present record shows these figures exactly reversed. There are now only 60 towns which have no free publio library, li-brary, while 173 are provided with them. The libraries recently established reach a population of 100,000. Boston Journal |
