Sandhill Libraries
Have Served For 20 Years
The traditional gift for a 20th
anniversary is platinum. This
metal, more valuable than gold,
seems very appropriate as a symbol
for what the now 20-year-old
Sandhill Regional Library System
accomplishes.
Automotive engineers employ
platinum as a catalyst in catalytic
converters.
The Sandhill Regional Library
System acts as the catalytic agent
which has enabled its member
libraries including Hoke County to
change from small, rural libraries
into modern resource centers.
When founded in 1962, the
Sandhill Regional Library System
comprised just three counties -
Richmond, Montgomery, and
Moore. Anson County joined in
1968, Hoke in 1975, and the towns
of Hamlet and Ellerbe in 1978.
Participation in a regional sys
tem enables member libraries to
pool resources for better service.
For example, the regional offices in
Rockingham centralize the order
ing and purchasing of materials
and provide consultative staff for
member libraries.
The professional staff includes
the regional director and assistant
director, a children's librarian, two
public service librarians, and two
technical services librarians.
In addition, the regional library
system provides its members with
quick access to all books and
materials within the region. Any
book not owned by a regional
library can still be obtained
through the interlibrary loan ser
vice provided by the North Carolina
State Library.
A library card issued at one
regional library is honored at all the
others. The results of all these
advantages are available free of
charge to library patrons.
Siifce its beginning in 1962, the
Sandhill Regional Library System
has increased its budget in real
dollars by only four percent, but it
has nearly tripled the number of
books available to its public, which ,
now exceeds 164, 000.
New library facilities have been
constructed in Anson, Mont
gomery, Moore, Hoke, and Eller
be.
In most cases, the libraries
previously were found in old store
fronts or houses and were crowded
with books and materials. Recent
construction, accomplished with
Federal aid in most cases, provided
spacious new quarters.
Throughout the coming year, the
Sandhill Regional Library System
will celebrate its twentieth anni
versary with special exhibits and
programs.
Plan to visit and support the
Hoke County regional library.
Discover, if you have not already,
^the vital role of the library in your
community.
Just as platinum resists corrosion
and tarnish, so does the service
rendered by the region continue to
shine.
