Page —6— There were days when the Bookaoblle was late. All this comparing of books wouJ^k then take place irtille we waited. You covild sometimes get all the books you wanted wlt^^ out looking at the shelves! But there were other days when the Bookmobile did not come at all. Mechanical breakdown or too many puddles on the old Salter Path Road, were among the following month's explanations. (How did they maneuver that big clumsy van over those bumps and hollows)? I particularly reaenber one cold day we waited in vain in our cars. When it be came obvious the Bookmobile was not coming, hoods, fenders and trunks turned into library shelves as we compared notes and exchanged books with each other. Confusion reigned the next month when these books were returned. The cards were filed under the name of the borrower and it was hard to remember who haul loaned you which bookI Somehow this all got straightened out and none of us was charged for a lost book. Now we have more selection, we can browse through the unslanted shelves, read out-of-town newspapers, peruse the displays, learn what books are on order and which ones have recently arrived. And we can consult the catalog1 What luxuryJ If we don't like the books we take we can return them the next day and try some more. We don't have to wait in the cold for a libraiy that doesn't materialize. But there Is something missing. Is it the pioneering spirit? Or the chance to meet and compare notes with friends on a regular basis? Probably both, MARY KORFF ----- oOo - - - - - PINE KNOLL SHORES WOMEN'S CLUB To start the '85-'86 seauson off on Friday September 27th at 10:00 a.m. in Town^^ Hall, we'll have as our guest speaker.
