Newspapers may also be found. There are three libraries and two branch libraries in the reg ion. During the school terms, bookmobiles serve 7 schools. High school students in the region find much of their refer ence material in the public li braries of Tyrrell, Washington and Chowan Counties. The members of the regional board and the staff in each coun ty urge the English teactyess to visit the libraries and examine the book collections before mak ing their assignments for refer ence material. Friends of the Library Organi zations have been formed in the 3 counties. These groups 'have Vione much to assist in promoting library service in the region, es pecially during National Library Week. State aid to Public Libraries ■ provides funds for the purchase 7 of books, for the libraries in Tyrrell, Chowan and Washington counties. “Are you now wondering why we need local funds from each of the counties?’’ asks : Mrs. Campbell. “The answer is sim ple, for. state and federal aid may be used only for a library director, who holds a degree in library science, other professional librarians, also holding degrees in library science, the purchase and operation of bookmobiles, the audit, for books, periodicals and binding. r "Most of the staff members in the region are non-professional librarians and must be paid from local .money. Then there are sub stitutes, lights, heat and tele phone bills, rent for library buildings, insurance for these buildings, insurance ort books, Social Security, Workmen’s Com pensation, maintenance of build ings, library supplies, equipment, and other operating expenses. All of these bills must be paid from local money donated by the counties of Washington, Tyrrell . and Chowan. Travel must be * paid from local money except for the director and for the bookmobiles. “Memorial Kooks and memorial funds are occasionally donated to the libraries. “Books are interchanged be tween the three libraries, and of ten books are borrowed for pa trons from the State Library. “Petigrew Regional Library, comprised of Tyrrell, Chowan and Washington counties, was formed in> October, 1955, with headquarters in the Washington County Library in Plymouth. Do you know why? “The answer is a simple one. In order to give adequate li brary service to the people of these counties, not one of the three counties /had sufficient GleSoit I «gXVj ■1 <^**^ > * ““nuJ^ 1 ? ■ v BV PP^ funds to emplqy a professional director, to purchase two book mobiles, to buy books to meet the need, in addition to financ ing all of the other expenses. By combining all fund? and by sharing the bookmobiles and a director, more adequate service could be rendered. “Since that time there has been real progress each year in every phase of service to the/pa tVons. “Each county has its' local board to transact ’ business of a local nature. “The success of Pettigrew Reg ional Library with a population of 29,737 has been due to our director who resigned two years ago, and to the untiring efforts and dedication of the regional staff, the regional board, the commissioners of the three coun ties, the city aldermen and friends. I may also add that the State Library Consultants have supported us and have helped us in so many ways. “This report would not be complete Without including thanks to Plymouth Radio Sta tion WPNC, the Edenton radio station, Chowan Herald, The Roanoke Beacon of Plymouth and The Daily Advance of Elizabeth City for the fine publicity they have given the Regional Library during the past year.” Shepard-Pruden and Brown- Carver Libraries in Edenton have librarians'holding degrees in li brary science.
