THE

ANOTHER NEW BRANCH

HE forty-third branch of The New York Public Library, known as the Fort Washington branch and situated at 535 West 179th street, between St. Nicholas and Audubon avenues, will be formally opened on Tuesday, April 14, at 8.30 p.m. On April 6, the building will be open for the registration of borrowers; on Wednesday morning, April 15, at 9 o'clock, it will be open for the distribution of books.

The building, the thirty-seventh erected from the Carnegie Fund to be used by The New York Public Library as a branch, is a four-story structure of Indiana limestone on a plot 50 feet by 100 feet. It was designed by Messrs. Walter Cook and Winthrop A. Welch and built by the William L. Crow Construction Company at a cost of about $115,000. An assembly room seating two hundred and fifty people is provided in the basement; the circulation, reading and reference rooms for adults are located on the first floor; the children's room is on the second floor; club study rooms and the janitor's apartment occupy the third floor.

This new branch is the Library's "farthest north" in Manhattan, as it is about a mile north of the new Washington Heights branch. It will accommodate a rapidly growing population hitherto served only by the Travelling Libraries or by more distant branches.

appropriate exercises. A large and representative company filled the building to overflowing. The Glee Club of Public School No. 46 and a class from Public School No. 169 furnished music. Hon. George L. Rives, first vice-president of the Board of Trustees of the Library, gave an address on their behalf. E. B. Treat, Esq., as a representative of the Trustees of the old Washington Heights Free Public Library, read a delightful paper of reminiscences, extracts from which will be found elsewhere in this issue. Hon. Marcus M. Marks, president of the Borough of Manhattan, accepted the building formally on behalf of the City and turned it back to The New York Public Library for administration, in accordance with the contract between the City and the Trustees of the Public Library.

In the course of his address, President Marks said: "Public libraries are particularly harmonious with the spirit of democracy. The preservation of our independent form of government depends upon the intelligence of the average man and one of the most effective means of developing that intelligence is in the use of the proper books.

"The principle underlying the institution of the public library is peculiarly democratic. No citizen is presented with anything tangible. Each man, woman, and child coming to the library takes something away, enriching himself or herself, but not leaving the library the poorer on that account. Were it otherwise, instead of being a democratic institution, it would become a charity, which is distasteful to our people.

"Those who visit the library for the purpose of self-education demonstrate by the very visit a laudable ambition, a desire which is worthy. Those who have
