Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-First Annual Report of the Public Library Committee, 1913 I have pleasure in submitting my twenty-first Annual Report. It covers the work of the Library during the year ended on the 3lst December, 1913. The year has been an eventful one, inasmuch as it has marked the coming of age of the Library; and the issues and the condition of the Library have been in keeping with such an event. The issues from the Library have exceeded those of any former year, and the Library generally is in a very thriving condition. It will be interesting to con sider the growth of the Library to the present time. The Library Acts were adopted in Hove on the lst of April, 1891. A meeting of the Ratepayers was held at the Ventnor Lecture Hall in November, 1890, to promote the objects of a Public Library; and a Committee was appointed to further the matter. In March, 1891, a Public Meeting was held in the Town Hall, and a resolution in favour of establishing a Library was passed unanimously. In the same month a Requisition was signed by eleven ratepayers and presented to the Hove Com missioners, who resolved that a, poll of the Town be taken. The poll resulted in a majority of more than 2 to 1 in favour of establishing the Library, persons voting in favour, and 502 voting against it.
