The region was formed by contract between u the three counties and is ii supported from city and county appropriations and state and federal aid- Presently the library is ceiving a basic grant of • $4,000 per county which is made to qualifying county ft and regional libraries from ? state and federal aid. Addi-. ■ • tional allotments from the state, known, as regional grants, are available to reg > ional libraries that are com posed of three . or more counties and serving less t than 75,000 people.

C. population of 11,729 gives $3,862; the Town of Edenton contributes $2,850, a total of $6,712 or 57 cents per capita for Chowan County. Washington County with a population of 13,488 appro priates $3,460; the Town of Plymouth $1,500, a total of $4,960, or 36 cents per cap ita. Tyrrell County with a population of 4,5i20 contri butes $3,217, or 71 cents per capita. In all fairness each county should contribute proportion ately to reach a 75 cents per capita goal, a library spokes man says. This would mean that Chowan .County needs to increase its present appro priation by $2,084.75; Wash ington County would have to contribute an additional $5,156, and Tyrrell County only $173 above its present appropriation. This total ad diti on a 1 appropriation of $7,413.75 would enable the region to receive the $3,000 additional funds on its reg ional grant. The American Library As sociation suggests a per cap ita expenditure of $3.50 an nually to provide minimum library Service. The North Carolina State Library finan cial goal for 1966-67 from local sources is sl.lO. Un less the library receives ad ditional local support for the forthcoming fiscal year, it will be operating on, less than half cf the amount recommended by the North Carolina State Library.

You have been, working here for some time now and haven’t had a penny.” Sam stared at the man in amazement. “What,” he gulp ed, “I get paid too?” Advice is usually expen sive, one way or the other.
