HARTINGTON- The Carnegie library which has recently been erected in this city was formally opened to the public last Friday afternoon with appropriate and impressive exercises.
Although the weather of the morning had been threatening, the afternoon was fair, and about the hour of the formal dedication, the sun burst forth from the clouds and flooded the building with glory as though Nature smiled beneficently upon this work.
The various committees had worked most industriously for several days previous to the opening, and at the appointed time everything was in readiness. The shelving had been put up, the books had been carried over from the old quarters and been arranged, the building had been thoroughly cleaned and the committee appointed for that purpose had tastefully decorated the building with beautiful flowers and ferns. It was the general opinion that everyone who had been engaged in any way on the public library had done his work well and that it was a most attractive and sightly building.
Large numbers of persons visited the library on the opening day and were shown by the committee through the building. Another committee displayed the books to visitors and everyone had an opportunity to see the entire institution. There was a great deal of interest manifest in the library on the part of all who attended the opening.
Following are the committees that had charge of the opening exercises: Mrs. B. Ready and Mrs. F. D. Stone, books; Mrs. Pierce, decorations; W. S. Weston, G. I. Parker, H. D. Spork, B. Ready and E.E. Collins, entertainment.
The new library starts out with a large collection of books, many of which have been donated by the women of Hartington. On Saturday following the opening, 200 persons visited the library and 135 took out books.
A short but excellent program was carried out at the dedication of the new library. Mayor Walz made the dedicatory address, which was a splendid one. On behalf of the community, he thanked Mr. Carnegie and everybody else who had contributed in any way to the erection of Hartington’s public library. He said we all had reason to be proud of the library and of the loyal support which it had received from the people of the community.
He spoke of the good influence of a good book and said a bad book was an unworthy and an unholy thing. He assured the patrons of the library the board would give the readers the best there was, and closed with the hope that the institution which they were dedicating would be an increasing source of good and inspiration.
Supt. C. L. Culler of the Hartington high school delivered an excellent address on The History of our Library.
