In July last some 800 volumes, the nucleus of library, were placed at the Committee's disposal to deal with as seemed to them best. Tassa books consisted of works of reference, travels, blography, and fiction. The want of a public library in the colony had been strongly impressed apan the Commitice, and that there was a real désire on the part of a large section of the community, especially of those who have not access to any library, for such as Institution. It must be remembered also that there is a large floating population to coasting and other vermis who would gladly avail themselves of facilitlen | for obtaining books, and the need of a reference library has long been recognited, And what is the present library accommodation la Hongkong
