The Weatherford Public Library has
this week taken a great step toward
being a real, comprehensive library—
one that will rank favorably with any
in this section of the staje. Two new
bookcases, of five sections each, with
a capacity of several hundred volumes
are now a part of the library. Miss
Hester Maddox, librarian, stated Mon-
day that there were enough hooks
stacked away on account of lack of
room, to more than fill both cases
Scares of other books have been
donated to the library, but have, up
to the present, been kept In homes
about town as a result of the Inade-
quate space of the library shelves.
Another important addition to the
library is a set of Harvard Classics,
comprising in all 71 volumes. Of this
number, 51 of the books are devoted
to essays, history, biography, philoso-
phy, travel notes, and kindred sub-
jects, while the remaining 20 contain
a collection of the world's best fic-
tion.
Here, perhaps, is the greatest col
lection of real literature that could be
obtained in any one set of books.
Everything from the mild mannered
impressionistic essays of Charles
Lamb, to the somber and» sometimes
ironic fiction of Balzac and De Mau-
passant, is Included in the Harvard
Classics. They are worth reading.
