SAVE YOU AN ACOIIIONAL COST OF S37S CHOWAN COUNTY TAX DEPARTMENT Owl Hoots And Screeches HOOTS LEARNING ALL THE TlME—Staying well informed is a very difficult task for any citizen since this is a complicated world in which we live. To my mind, it is an absolute necessity for practicing librarians of all kinds to make themselves aware of current events as well as developments in the field of librarianship, and especially for public librarians to stay up with the world at large as well as the profession. For this reason, I have put special emphasis on workshops, seminars, and professional meetings of all kinds for everyone on the staff of the Pettigrew Regional Library. This past week was a busy one with several staff members broadening their educations in various areas. Frances Sexton, Tyrrell County Librarian, and Lou Moore, from Shepard- Pruden Memorial Library in Edenton, spent three days at East Carolina University in Greenville improving NHS Dresses School Grounds The combination of spring fever, brain brawn, determination, and a definite goal are blending together at John A. Holmes High School, as the' 23 members of the National Honor Society undertake beautification and service projects at their school. In an effort to make their home away from home as attractive as possible, the National Honor Society members have been tackling needed yard work and general gardening. Back in January, these students gave all of the overgrown their reference abilities Their report of the program was that the emphasis was on work -of the look-it-up yourself variety - and thus very helpful. At the same time, Mary Eileen. Bieler, our Children’s Coordinator for the Pettigrew Regional Library, was off in another direction for a conference on work with Young Adults. And later in the week, she spent her day off attending a seminar on audiovisual equipment and its use, including maintenance. Coming up is a meeting in Burlington of the Planning Council and Ad Hoc Committee on Standards of the Public Libraries Section of the North Carolina Library Association (NCLA). These meetings are usually very productive since they bring together public librarians from all sized libraries to work in mutual problems. I am definitely looking forward to this particular session since it gives me a chance to see friends from other parts of the state. and leggy shrubs around the school ground a badly needed pruning. New spring growth has assured them that their work enhanced the shrubs’ growth rather than destroyed them altogether. With the help of Scott Harrell, owner of Edenton- Tractor & Implement Co., Inc., the National Honor Society has recently undertaken another project. For some time, the junior parking lot has been a great, problem because of the many deep holes in the area. Harrell contributed matching loads of sand, free of charge, to the honor society members, who have since then tackled the task of filling the holes to improve conditions. Since there is usually something that needs to be done around a school yard, the Holmes National Honor Society plans to continue taking on projects what will enhance the school’s appearance. THE CHOWAN HERALD SCREECHES NEW WORRIES-My contribution, last week, to expamfing our capabilities was to attend the Interlibrary Loan Workshop at my alma mater, UNC-Chapel Hill School of Library Science. The speakers shared a wealth of very practical information with us but also managed to scare us pretty badly with two current problems.

Library Doings If you like Girl Scouts and the work the Girl Scouts accomplish, you will love our March display. The display is the combined effort of all troops in the county andis alive with color, imagination, and thought. Come to the library and see this fantastic array of art, craft, and fun.

Walker and Clarence Stallings, Jr., Please be at the courthouse the night of the 23rd to see another fine speaker in the forum series. first is the condition of the state budget which is causing curtailment of some of the services of the State Library. Since we depend so heavily on the large collections of reference books available to us through interlibrary loans, any decrease in that service would be very hurtful. The head of the INward-Wide- Area-Telephone-Service, Virginia Gibson of INWATS assured us that her crew is still answering our requests (at the rate of 88 a day last month) but she gave us several tips for cutting down delays and helping than to speed up their service without increasing their staff. The other worrisome problem is with the new copyright bill now being considered by a Congressional sub committee. One section of the bill would prohibit copying of library material, such as articles in expensive journals, and would seriously cripple interlibrary loans. We were urged to contact our TREE PRESENTED—The Liberty Tree is the name chosen by the Ernest A. Swain Student Council members for the Darlington Oak which they presented to the Town of Edenton for the new municipal waterfront park during their Arbor Day and Bicentennial Commemoration Ceremony. Fourth, Fifth and Sixth grade Student Council representatives and W. B. Gardner, town administrator, gather around as Allen Clark adds the final planting touches. awran Come Join In The Spring Sales Fling .. . uMMJ At Your Favorite Mutual Member Pharmacy n WELCOME SPRING AT ANY OF OUR MORE THAN 290 CONVENIENTLY LOCATED STORES QUALITY + SAVINGS + SERVICE Saturday Waa Officially Tha Nnt Day Os Syriny And Yaw Naarby Mutual Maahar Maa la Already Caiabrating.
