A large number of our brethren who throng Freemasons' Hall hardly seem to be aware that a library exists ; and though our distinguished Bro . the Grand Secretary has done all that he can do to

encourage the giving of books , and prints , and tokens , and the like , as well for the library and the museum , we all of us find the difference in life between what requires business and what is official duty and care . That the creation of lodge libraries would do good to Freemasonry
