Return Public Library Books
Thirteen may be a lucky
number if it leads to the return
of library books to - public
schools in Charlotte-Mecklen
burg. All CMS library books
are labeled on page 13 in the
bottom margin.
In an effort to have “long
lost” books returned, Char
lotte-Mecklenburg Schools.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg public
Libraries and the Charlotte
Mecklenburg PTA Council are
cooperating in “Operation
Book Return” during National
Library Week, April 2-8. No
fine will be levied on “long
lost" books.
An estimated 16.500 books
are lost each year from public
school media centers, accor
ding to Mary Arden Harris,
Media Center Program Spe
cialist.
In some cases, students
have transferred to new
schools and don’t realize they
can turn in books at the new
school and that they will be
sent to the appropriate school,
she says.
Students who have been
graduated and are away at
college may have library
books at home. Former stu
dents or their parents are
asked to return such books to
any public school or branch of
the public library. Books will
be returned to the proper
place.
PTA volunteers will help
sort books in order to send to
the appropiate school.
The return of public school
and Mbrary books will benefit
the whole community by sa
ving tax dollars for replacing
books and by making the
books available to patrons,
explains Mrs. Harris.
Jack Elam, Joan Blondell,
Harry Morgan, Marie Wins

ner and Chuck Conners co-star.
