PUBLIC LIBRARY
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—As a visitor to Wellington, may I through your columns make some observations upon the condition o£ your Public Library? I well know that a new library is soon to be built, but this is no excuse for allowing the present institution to remain in its present condition. ■
I had occasion to have to look up the paper of my home town the other day, and the first thing that struck me on entering the portals was the unpleasant odour.. The second thing that strikes one is the dirty and tattered condition of every magazine and newspaper in the reading-room; this is caused through allowing too many persons to use the library as a public dormitory. I know that these faults are in common with many other libraries, but surely they could be corrected.—l am, etc., ' .
HEALTH.
