HISTORY OF LIBRARIES. 235 appointed to furnish entertainments of debate, reading, dramas, of whichten cents admission is charged for non-members. We have aboutseventy members now and fourteen hundred books with six hundred dol-lars in the treasury. Salisbury.— The library grew out of the Salisbury Book Club, wasorganized as Salisbury Library in 1888, becoming incorporated with twoold town libraries — the Smith and the Bingham. Through the gen-erosity of members of the Scoville family, a Memorial Library buildingis to be erected within the next year, we confidently hope. At the lastannual meeting of Salisbury Library Association it was resolved, Thatall the books, records, and property belonging to said association shouldbe turned over to, and deposited in the Scoville Memorial Library,whenever the Scoville Library Building shall be completed and readyfor occupancy. The library is not yet, to any considerable extent, areference library, but is well patronized by teachers and pupils
