A CIRCULATING LIBRARY FOR WOMEN.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.")
SIR,—With reference to Lord Kinnaird's letter in your last issue, may I say that for women (and men) there is already a Free Circulating Library in South London, at 143 Upper- Kennington Lane, near Vauxhall Station ? This has been open to the public generally since last October. There is also a comfort- able reading-room, well supplied with newspapers, periodicals, and books, which is open to men and women alike. The library and reading-room are quite dependent on voluntary contributions of books and money, and are much in want of both ; but your- readers, as well as Lord Kinnaird, may be glad to know that in the large and poor district of Lambeth there is one Free- Library and Reading Room for the use of those for whom he is- asking help. The reading room is open every evening, including- Sunday, entirely free.—I am, Sir, &c., WILLIAM ROSSITER, Treasurer.
