Martinborough Public Library and Reading Room

Martinborough Public Library and Reading Room was built in 1894. The building, which is of wood, is very prettily designed, the architect being Mr. Natusch, of Eketahuna. There is a large reading-room and a chess-room, besides the library, which contains some 400 or 500 volumes. The cost of the building—£226—was defrayed principally by public subscription. The reading-room is open daily to the public from 9 a.m. to 9.30 p.m. It is managed by a committee of seven, with the following officers: Messrs. J. Martin (president), C. W. Lee (treasurer), and Rev. J. Lymburn (secretary).
