HIGH MEADOWS—Of all
the places that the
Development Committee
has chosen as sites for their
meetings over the years that
I have been a member, last
week’s was the most
inspiring. Situated on the
top of a mountain near the
town of Roaring Gap, High
Meadows Inn is located in
the territory served by the
Northwestern Regional
Library so we were invited
to hold our deliberations in
the convention facilities
there. The timing was
almost perfect - the leaves
were beginning to turn,
there was a crispness in the
air, the scenery was
magnificant, the golf course
was in great shape
(naturally I managed to slip
in a couple of good rounds
between meetings) and even
the gentle rain caused no
problems.
There was almost two
dozen of us in attendance,
including the state
librarian, Phil Ogilvie; the
assistant state librarian who
heads their Development
section, Elaine von Oesen;
and her two general
consultants, Frances Reid
and Susan Barcklay. Large
library systems were well
represented by members
from Charlotte, Durham,
Winston-Salem and Raleigh.
There were six regional
librarians present. Smaller
county systems furnished
the balance of the group so
we had a fairly
representative assortment.
Since the main function of
this committee is to act as
an advisory board for the
State Library’s
Development section, this is
very important.
In the past, there has been
a certain amount of friction
connected with these
meetings, a feeling of
competition between the
various sizes of library
systems over the
distribution of available
funds. Maybe it was the
locale, more likely it was the
good work of the able
chairman (my golfing
buddy, Dave Larson),
undoubtedly it was the
cooperation of everyone
involved, but this was a
most amicable gathering.
There was a spirit of pulling
together for the common
good. It seems so obvious
yet it is easy to forget that
the best way to ensure good
library service for everyone
in the state is to work for all
libraries, not just for your
own.

SCREECHES
CONFLICTION SCHED
ULES—Despite the num
ber of miles Athat I trav
el, I still have not learn
ed how to be in two
(daces at once. Thus, 'I was
torn between several
obligations last week. Two
of my special interests are
continuing education and.
Bicentennial planning, both
of which were the subject of
statewide meetings at the
same time. In addition, I am
in the midst of working on a
special multi-media *■
presentation to be given at
the library convention at the
end of this month.
Representation at the
Adult Education meeting
proved to be no real
problem: Louise Darby, the
Chowan County librarian,
was able to provide that for
the Pettigrew Regional
Library. The problem arose
when I tried to assemble the
cast for the skit I’m writing.
There are just three of us
but the other two reneged on
our scheduled “rehearsal”
in favor of the larger
meetings. So I confined my
efforts to working with the
very capable audiovisual
technician at the Smithfield
library, Ken Boyette, and
later on the script itself.
Since my daughter Vicki
and I spent the weekend in
Roanoke, Virginia with my
friends the Garretsons, I
was able to get some expert
help on my maiden effort at
writing conversation. Betty
Garretson is the director of
the Gilbert and Sullivan
production of THE
GONDOLIERS which we
enjoyed seeing twice (once
backstage and once from
the second, row). And
George has had much
experience in the theater, so
I felt fortunate to be able to
call on them.
Reading Program
Efforts Awarded
The Stanly County Public
Library awards a silver tray
to the Extension
Homemakers Club that has
the largest percentage of
reading awards for three
years.
The first place winner in
1974, the Oakwood Park
Extension Homemakers,
became the first club to
have its name on the tray.
But their name must appear
twice more before the tray
becomes property* of the
club, says Elizabeth
Watson, extension home
economics agent.
Margaret Johnston,
county librarian, and her
staff have worked closely
with Extension
Homemakers in helping
promote good reading
throughout the county since
1940, Miss Watson notes.
