MODEL CITY COMMISSION
ANNOUNCES TOWN MEETING
\MU
■ ■ •••
HIGH POINT- The Mo
del City Commission of
High Point announced that
it would liold a Town
Meeting on Thursday,
February the 7th, at 7:30
p.m. in Room 208 of the
Cily-County Building.
This meeting is being
called so that Model
Neighborhood Residents
and other citizens of High
Point, might be given the
opportunity to voice their
k)pinions on the use of an
additional $156,000 which
was awarded the Model
City program.
Because it is cxpcctcd
that this will be the last
grant from the Department
of Housing and Urban
Development, the Model
City Commission wants to
insure adequate citizen
involvement in determining
the use of these funds.
Citizens will be given an
opportunity to be heard in
regard to any already,
on-going project they would '
like to see the money used
for.
There will also be a
period during the meeting
to suggest new projects for
which the money might be
spent.
All directors of currently
operating projects have
been notified of the
February the 7th meeting
and will be given an
opportunity to make re
quests for additional funds
to run their projects.
It is anticipated that in
some instances these funds
can be used to ease the
transition of projects from
Model City funding to other
sources of funding.
All interested parties are
invited to submit project
proposals that could possi
bly be funded from this
additional grant.
For persons not familiar
with the Model City
process, staff assistence
and background materials
are available for the
development kif project
proposals.
Contact Wayne Pray,
885-9081, for such assis-
tcnce. All proposals need to
be into the Model City
office, 609 South Main St.,
by 5 p.m. on February the
6th, 1974,
This additional grant of
$156,000 amounts to only
about one-sixth of the
current operating budget of
the Model City program.
Residents, t hereforc.
should be made aware of
the fact that while these
funds will not allow for the
initiation of a program
similar in scope to that
which was known in the
past, it will provide for a
degree of continuity of
effort as projects seek
optional funding in coming
months. It will also allow
for the dcvclopmeni of
possibly one or two final,
innovative projects that
would demonstrably impact
on outstanding problems.

High Point Public Library
users who have checked out
books in the past month are
pleased by the library's
new, lengthened borrowing
time, Library Director Neal
F. Austin has reported to
the Library Board of
Trustees. Books may now
be checked out for one
month, instead of three
weeks as formerly,
“The lengthened time
gives the borrower an
easier date to remember
when a book is due,"
Bridge Classes To Start
By: Nancy Growdon
The High Point Parks
and Recreation Department
and High Point College will
co-sponsor a comprehen
sive beginning bridge class
at the High Point College
Campus Center. The class
is tentatively scheduled to
begin Monday, February
I 1, and will be held
Monday and Wednesday
nights from 7 to 9 p,m, for a
four-week period.
Interested persons may
register by contacting
Susan Smith at the Parks
and Recreation Depart
ment, 883-7171, Ext. 247. A
minimal registration fee
will be charged.
Austin said, “exactly one
month from the date it is
checked out,’’
The move is an experi
ment, he said, to help
control the problem of
overdue books, which
average several hundred a
month and cost the library
approximately 100 hours of
staff time a month.
The library sends out
almost 700 overdue notices
a month, many for more
than one book, he added.
Three notices one week
apart are mailed to
forgetful borrowers. The
last notice is accompanied
by a letter, which points out
"that overdue books cost the
taxpayers of High Point
several thousand dollars a
year.
According to Mrs, Violet
Kelley, in charge of
circulation services, many
people forget when their
books are due and the first
overdue reminder brings
back the most books with,
generally, apologies from
embarrassed patrons,
“No one should be
embarrassed about overdue
books, though,” she said,
adding that circumstances
sometimes prevent the
return of a book and the
library understands. The
library is concerned, how
ever, about students over
keeping books, especially
those on reserve, which
other students also need for
term papers and assign
ments.
Three factors not gene
rally known to the average
library user were empha
sized by Austin. “First, the
library is not required to
send overdue notices. It is a
courtesy provided by the
library to the forgetful
patron. Second, overdue
fees--five cents a day per
book--do not go into the
library’s budget, nor would
they offset the costs if they
did. Then, third, there is a
law against keeping a
library book overdue after a
notice has been received,’’
The books are public
property.
The library board has
asked the director for a
study of the number of
books overdue and per
manently lost, and for a
cost analysis of the
problem.
In the meantime, the
board and director believe
that the new lengthened
borrowing policy may solve
some of the problems of
overdue books by giving
users a longer check-out
period for books
