Notes and messages were HOOTS NORTH CAROLINA AUTHORS—Books by North Carolina authors form an important part of the collection for the Pettigrew Regional Library. Each of the libraries in the region (SHepard-Pruden Memorial Library in Edenton, Perquimans County Library in Hertford, Tyrrell County • Public Library in Columbia, and Washington County Library in Plymouth) has a 'special section devoted to books about North Carolina (regardless of the birth place of the author) which contains histories and genealogical materials among other subjects. But some books are not only about North Carolina—they were written by natives and that makes them extra special. The former chairman of the Trustees Section of the North Carolina Library Association, Patsy Ginns, is the proud author (com piler?) of the latest addition to our North Carolina collection. .Using a tape recorder, she interviewed I had a cousin who had a piece of land that was not the best farming land in the world. SCREECHES NORTH CAROLINA POETS—It is not so grand as the Ginns book which is handsomely printed by the University of North Carolina Press, but we acquired another book by a native North Carolinian this week.

Sanders Director, Pettigrew Regional Library older residents of rural areas all across the state, asking them to recall their past. The results of these interviews, edited only slightly, form a fascinating picture of “the old days”. the title of the Ginns book is “Rough Weather Makes Good Timber” and the t contribution it makes to preserving the flavor of our rural heritage is a significant one. The con tents are arranged in short, pithy sequences by subjects such as The Land, Home Life, Food, Work, Cash Crops, Happy Times, Hard Times, School and Church, Social Customs, Travel, Stories and Legends. Many of the interviews are printed like poetry and the book is beautifully illustrated with pen and ink drawings by J. L. Osborne, Jr. One of my favorite quotes is attributed to a fellow librarian, Louise Boone, who is director of the Albemarle Regional Library with headquarters in Winton. This is her description of My Cousin’s Land: And she said, “It was so poor you couldn’t even raise hell on it.”- “Love Songs From The Outer Banks” was printed by Times Printing Company in Manteo, a bit closer to home than Chapel Hill. It is also tastefully illustrated by sketches. But the thing that touched me the most is the afterword: “The cover design and illustrations were done by a dear friend of mine, Peggy Horner, who also happens to be my mother-in-law.” Edenton; Mrs. Edith White from Merry Hill; Mr and Mrs. Sam Davis from Elizabeth City; and Mrs. John Welch from Moyock.
