Library receipts and 1917 lectures detail
A Virginia library reports 2500 reader cards with 43 non residents, 265 withdrawals, and 71 deposits. War relief activity boosted use of the Library Lecture Hall and Board Rooms, listing dates for ministerial meetings, Red Cross events, and and Navy League engagements. The Handley Board's 1917 lectures featured Cooke, Smith, Wood, Krebs, McBrien, Dugmore, Swartzkopensky, Montavillers, Chute, and Beith across venues.
