PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
DISTRIBUTION OF VOTE. Parliament voted last session the sum of £4OOO for distribution to public libraries. The vote is now being divided amongst the various libraries entitled to participate in it. The bodies which can share in the grant must be public in the sense of belonging to the public, and of not being under the control of an association, society, or club, whose membership is composed of a section of the community only, and if within a borough it must be open to the public free of charge. The whole of the subsidy must be expended without delay in the purchase of books. In all, 408 libraries throughout the Dominion participate, the subsidy payable ranging from £6 5s 4d to £23 4s 3d. The libraries in the Wellington provincial district which will receive subsidies are as follows: — Carterton, Eketahuna, Featherston, Greytown, Karori, Levin, Lower Hutt, Makara, Mangatainoko, Martinborough, Masterton, Nireaha, Ohariu, Otaki, Pahiatua, Petone, Porirua, Shannon,, Turakina, Marton, Wainui-o-mata, and Wellington.
