PAGE TWO -B iiir v i cm f ' iPSIwm * L Several years ago, the Girl Scputs of my troop gave me 1$ name Gray Owl because of; my prematurely gray hair aiijd my fondne*s ,'-ir owls ac quired at Rice University, where that symtol of wisdom is the school mascot. Since my college days, my collec tion of owls has grown slowly but steadily, all of them gifts from family and friends— people seem to think of me when they see owls in any form. Thus, when I assumed the position as director of the Pettigrew Regional Li brary. the idea for this col umn was born:, a chatty visit with the members of this community about books and people but especially about libraries with “Hoots” for good things and “Screeches" for the not-so-good. Hoots Users Satisfied—At the all day staff meeting which was held scon after my arrival in the Pettigrew Region, <1 shar ed the results of the recent survey made in the libraries to discover some of the things the users liked about their libraries as well as im provements they wished to see. The response to the two week study was good with 88 questionnaires returned at the Washington County Library in Plymouth, 77 at the Shep ard-Pruden Memorial Library jn Edenton, and 66 at the Tyrrell County Library in Columbia for a total c f. 231 in the region, with reports, by the librarians that no one re fused to cooperate.

SANDERS Director Pettigrew Regional Library [faction expressed by the I users—almost SO per cent of [those who responded to the [question on the subject re | ported that they were com ■pletely satisfied and only l four people were not satis fied at all. Unfortunately, there were 48 patrons who did not tell us whether they were satisfied or not Eigh teen reported partial satisfac tion. Tne comments were over whelmingly favorable with the librarians coming in for much praise for their help fulness and their friendliness. Only one.person out of the 731 who filled out question naires found the librarian un able to help. Ready Tor Film Shows— The staff is very proud of the new Venetian blinds which have been installed in the Shepard-Pruden Memorial Li brary. Not only do they im prove the appearance of the building from the outside and increase the eye comfort for werk and reading, but they make it possible to daerken the multi-purpose room for showing films in the daytime. Watch for announcements of story hours complete with movies in the near future. Staff Increased—You will be seeing new faces at the library in Edenton soon. Our new library assistant is Mrs. James E. White, who is re placing Mrs. Catherine Cam pen. In addition, we have secured the services of some students from the nearby Col lege of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City. We hope you will enjoy increased service with these new staff mem bers—they are here to help. Tree Exhibit— A very fine exhibit of trees in this area is on view at the Shepard- Pruden Memorial Library. It is the work of a seventh grade student at D. F. Walker School, Marion Dail, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Dail. Consisting of a display of the leaves of various trees with information about the trees and their uses, this exhibit was assembled as a 4-H for estry project under the lead ership of Mrs. Dail. Appro priate books on the subject of trees are included in the dis play case. Screeches New Books Delayed We realize that you are some times disappointed when we cannot get the new books as fast as the patrons would like and we don’t blame you for* screeching. In order to make our bock money go as far as possible, we order most of our books through the State Library’s Processing Center in Raleigh and they get begged down occasionally. We can get the books faster when we order directly from the publishers but they cost more and you wouldn’t want us to be extravagant. A new class of citizen has developed the television slave. Seeing America is a good way for Americans to spend •their '.me and money. Wistful Thinking I don’t ask for much. I’d like to have 1970 wages, 1934 1 prices and 1904 taxes. —Republican. Lanford, N.
