LIBRARIES IN NEWS - The
current issue of U. S. News &
World Report has a long, well
illustrated article on the new
look in public libraries
throughout the country but
some of the material gathered
for the survey was not used, as
is usually the case. The
introductory paragraphs
include a reference to
"circulating dress patterns”
but the subject is never
mentioned again, much to my
disappointment, since the
originator of this service is a
North Carolina librarian and a
friend of mine.'
William Hess, the Director of
the A-M-Y (Avery. Mitchell and
Yancey Counties' Regional
Library in tjie western part of
the state has been building up
this unique service for several
years. I remember when he
first mentioned it at a meeting
of Western North Carolina
Librarians (when I was working
in the Public Library in
Asheville) it was not exactly
enthusiastically accepted since
innovations are not always
welcomed by all librarians. As
time passed, the service and
Bill Hess’s fame has grown with
articles in several places. So,
we were pleased when Bill told
us at the regional directors
meeting last month about the
team of camera men and
reporters from L. S. News &
World Report who gathered
information about him and his
contribution to the broadening
of library services. Too bad
they didn’t use what they
gleaned maybe later.

On a small scale, we have
instituted the circulation of
dress patterns in the libraries of
the Pettigrew Region (Shepard-
Pruden Memorial Library in
Edenton, Tyrrell County Public
Library in Columbia, and
Washington County Library in
Plymouth). Our source for
procuring the patterns to be
circulated is from gifts by
patrons who sew; thus the
variety of sizes and styles is
somewhat limited. Even so, it
has proved a useful activity and
continues to increase in
popularity As word spreads, we
will be able to expand our
collection and thus build its
value to the community.
SCREECHES
DWINDLING MEMBERS
One of the first groups I met
upon coming to Plymouth a
little over three years ago was
the organization which played a
large part in the founding of the
Washington County Library:
the Thursday Afternoon
Literary Club. Little by little,
the membership has suffered
losses which have decimated
the ranks, especially of their
charter members. Two very
active members. both
neighbors of mine, have moved
out of town: Molly Trowbridge
and "T” Ach. Death took Mary
Cotton Davenport this year, a
grievous loss since she was the
life of tbe party whenever she
attended. And now. the
unexpected sudden death of
Mrs. Isolind Ward leaves
another void which can never be
filled. She will be missed by the
remaining members of the club
as well as all her other friends.
