Editor North Shore Breeze: 
DEAR SiR: A weekago I noticed in your 
paper a statement about a new travelling 
library which the First parish had just 
started. I fear the statement gave a wrong 
impression to readers, as the travelling 
library was started last year, and another 
this year; therefore I enclose a short ac- 
count of the travelling library, which I hope 
will give a more clear idea. I think people 
would be interested to know something defi- 
nite of the travelling libraries. 
Sincerely yours, 
Miss Mary R. BULKELEY.

the First parish, collected from vari- 
ous people books, and after 100 vol- 
umes had been gathered together 
they were catalogued and numbered 
and sent South. ‘This year another 
hundred were collected, and_ this 
library is to be sent to Kansas. A 
travelling library is sent to towns 
where there is not any free public 
library ; and on account of its consist- 
ing of only an hundred volumes, it 
stays in one place only six months, 
and is then sent on to some other 
place: therefore its name, the travell- 
ing library. 
The first one was sent to Stonewall, 
La., where it remained six months. 
At the end of that time the people 
saw the need of a permanent library 
in a community, so the high school, 
consisting of about a dozen scholars, 
raised funds to start a public library. 
The second library is going to Kansas 
and the first library has now gone on 
to Missouri. The libraries here in 
Beverly are known as the ‘“ Beverly 
travelling libraries.”” Some parishes 
have three or four libraries, which are 
constantly moving from place to place.
