Content
 Established in 1903, this library is one of the oldest public libraries in our country. The velvet animals, dolls, toy slides and games with which the present libraries try to amuse children are totally missing from this children's department. Serious peace and quiet, studious silence and edifying reading material is what the children were offered here to the satisfaction of their educators.
