Page 2-A HOOTS CHILDREN’S SERVICES - The idea that children should be encouraged to use public libraries is one that still has not been universally accepted. In some libraries, children are only tolerated and there are even some public libraries where use by children is actually discouraged. The philosophy in the Pettigrew Regional Library system is based on the belief that today’s children will be tomorrow's citizens and that few people learn to love books and reading at an advanced age: it is a taste that must be acquired early in life. In an effort to improve the quality of the Children’s Services in our libraries, three members of the staff attended a, two-day conference held in Washington, North Carolina last week. Esther Davenport, Tyrrell County librarian, and Elva Riddick, children’s librarian for Washington County, accompanied me to this special workshop. The BHM (Beaufort-Hyde-Martin) . Regional Library staff led by Mary Wilson, Director, played host at the meetings which were held at the Holiday Inn. Jane Wilson, Children’s Consultant, and Nancy O’Neal, ; Field Librarian, (members of > the Public Library ; Development Section of the f State Library) conducted the • program with the able « assistance of many libraries ; from several different systems. • We were treated to :• demonstrations by the : innovative participants of < special federally-funded ’ outreach programs in five :■ different areas. The mobile ■i units created for these : programs were on display perhaps you saw them featured | in the TV newscast on Thursday i night. : Puppet shows, story-telling • techniques using flannel ; boards, singing games and • various audio-visual aides like 1 slim-strip viewers, rear i projection film cassette • players, tape players, and ; motion picture prtrjectors were • used by these experienced | workers with children.

The printed word in the form of cloth-bound and paperback books and in magazines remains the best bargain for public libraries in the sense of getting the most material for the amount of public funds spent. Fortunately for. us, some of the best techniques we saw demonstrated require a commodity which costs very little money and yet is priceless: imagination. It also helps if the libraries who work with children really like children. HOOTS A PERSONAL WORD lt is a source of much personal satisfaction that my readership for this column includes people in many different places. Since I give them the subscription, I know that my words reach my mother in Houston, my daughter and son in Los Angeles, my daughter in Raleigh and my friend in St. Simon’s Island, Georgia. More 1 flattering is the subscription that one of my sisters buys for herself and the word I received indirectly that a Hatteras-born family in Chapel Hill looks forward to my remarks every week. And at the meeting in Washington, I learned that other librarians read me weekly as far away as Elkin. That really pleased me.

In the first year you learn to help can, jpbel, and store fruits and tomatoes. The second year you can 10 jars alone. The third year you learn to can low acid vegetables using the pressure cooker. Chowan County’s 1972 champion was Debbie Jordan. One technique learned was how to use the boiling water bath method of canning, which is recommended for fruits, tomatoes and juices.
