These ladies have faithfully performed
all the duties pertaining to their, respective offices "and may well feel a
proper pride at tho fine condition in
which this Association is found today.
' :The question of changing'the time
of tbe annual meeting from Jatjhf.r^'^i
November und ffci*^ "§avm'.«.ny BTECiung
to fi idily' "evening wv$, submitted lo
the Association and by'* a two-thirds
vote of its membors the change--was
made. In-previous years the .annual
meeting has sometimes been unavoidably carried over from a month to- six
weeks past the regular time_ awing, to
various causes—the inclemency of the
weather usually in January; or the
revival meetings   which   often   have
'■■   . ° \   i..  u       nl..  Ii       tl.   ll*
come just at the time of the' rggniftr,
meeiii.-.: or sickness'ajpong the members whioh seems to come more Vften
when the "days* lengthen" and'' the
cold begins to "strengthen." Then,
too^the'sidewalk's were agt- to be icy
and slippery, making it. more difficult
for the the older members to get out.
So we may congratulate ourselves that
this'change in our constitution will
:enable us to hold these annual -meetings'under more favorable.conditions.
It is'sincerely hoped 'that "each; mem-j
bei will make an especial effo"r.' to 'at;

- -We wish lo express our ■ continued
'appreciation'of'this.home" for*'otfr> Library—each year's-occupancy increases
our thankfulness and comfortable1 enjoyment of this pleasant place "and now
that the one through whose' liberality
and kindness we became' 'possessed- of
this building, has passed on to t(i$ reward, we*.hold 'in ever' -gFeater and
more", afiec'tiohati-. r*emenibra_i6ei_'the

We are glad to' speak- of 'flvfc "increasing growth ip' fnenp.^r;shi|),.^ vhe

of the wider distribution rof - books
\through the country round about.*.   It
is'yefy-desirable, that each mem.er of
this Association shall-secure at least
one new member each year. It worked well last year—so let us try thfa
""tlmi ;i_-iiiii ihis comin_r" year, thus"
doubling our membership and t-xlen'd-
ing the benefits which we enjoy to
others. There are so many newcomers in Saline "that it is quite possible some of them do not know about
the low membership fee of 50c yearly,-:
and perhaps some'are only waiting ior
an invitation to become valued and
helpful members. Let us see to it that
each new-coiner in town is. made acquainted with this Library and its
ust?s and-that the. older residents -are
again reminded that Saline has a Library.
, We have been especially fortunate
this year in bur friends. They have
given us both booiis and money, also
kind words and .helpful .assistance.
We wish to thank ail those who have
contributed in "any way to the success'
o£ the year's work. We have received
.ninety-nine volumes this year as gifts.
Mrs, Rosse ha. ju3t donated sixty four
bound volumes of Littell's Living Age,
besides fourteen other volumes, mostly,
fiction. We received from Miss Cornelia Smith's .library, sixteen volumes.
We have received one book each from
the following; Miss Brown,-Miss Zoa
Nichols, Miss Donaldson, Miss Friis
and J.-J. Walters. The copies of the
Living Age are especially valuable
both for reference and for good solid
reading."' They als,o contain many interesting sjqr.es. Tjjere have also
been adled to our shelves the usual
number -of bopks.by purchase, making
the total number of volumes in our
library" this year 1299. We
have received-five dollars in money,
two beautiful'pictures, .a fine map of
the TJnited States and too many klnd--
nesses and helpful courtesies to men-
tij.ft.it} detail. We want to thaak-the
Ann Arbor Organ Co. and "the Woman's Club for' the continued use of
this piano, it is an .addition to oor^
furnishings and has given us all' much
pleasure.
Our entertainments this year have
been limited to one—the pretty Operetta "Red Riding Hood"-given under
the:direction of Mrs. Speck of Ann
'Arbor *last spring. This netted us
over $47 and. * was a great success.
T.his .Association''does not call" updfi
the general public fpr assistancei'often,
and-when it does the' resp$ns§ is. \js,-r

Come*-lot|iB-L^r§rj' to exchange his
fjoojts wifl'fe$l free to ask"" any of the
members of the Library Board to do
so for him. ' In this way we can accommodate, those living in the country
o'r.those in town who jna_. be unable
from any; cause to get to the Library
on Friday afternoons. The new catalogs T.vhich were issued ^ in July have
proven very helpful in th\s respect
and they are a svelcp'-fle addition to
our equipment fpp work here. To the
Librarian, Mis.s,,DoAaldson, is due the
