Excerpt from Pennsylvania Library Notes, Vol. 3: July, 1910 Several new libraries have been established or reorganized during the year. Kane has just opened a Public Library under the joint aus pioes of an association and the school-board. It occupies two large and well-lighted rooms on the first floor Of the new High School build ing. They have been attractively fitted up and stocked with about two thousand books. As they did not feel able to employ a trained librarian the cataloguing and other technical work was done under the Supervision Of the Commission. The interest on the part of the towns people is good and the prospect for success is fine. At Lock Haven all the difficulties have been Overcome and the com bination Of the Smith and Ross foundations only awaits the prepara tion Of the necessary papers by the attorneys. The trustees are look ing around for a trained librarian and as soon as one is secured the reorganization will begin. The library will be charmingly located in the Ross home which is on the main street not far from the center Of the town. The building is surrounded by a lawn with shrubbery and fine Old trees. The Blairsville library has been thrown open to all the people and is now being reorganized for the new and wider usefulness. The New Castle library which has been under the auspices Of the Y. W. C. A., has been taken over by the city and is to be put in some more public place where it will be entirely by itself. It is the intention Of the trustees to secure a thoroughly trained librarian and put the library on a solid basis.
