Hi' \ Wk'Jl ON THE MAPS—One of the ingredients of the study currently underway to evaluate library service in the state of N. C.is a map ping project. Using the county maps graciously provided by the Highway Department, we are plotting the residences of our registered borrowers and the current users. By locating the addresses on the maps, we can illustrate graphically how much coverage we have throughout the counties. It would be physically impossible to put a dot on a map for every person who has filled out a registration card or borrowed a bode in the four libraries which comprise the Pettigrew Region: Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library in Edenton, Perqujjnans County Library in Hertford, Tyrrell County Public Library in Columbia and Washington County Library in Plymouth. We are applying the scientific methods for sampling which have proved to be statistically valid by taking a random selection of 400 from each category (borrower’s cards and circulation cards) in each library. In addition to showing the locations of the library patrons in our samples, we have color-coded the maps to provide two other bits of information. As nearly as we can ascertain (names and ages can be confusing sometimes) we have determined the number of adults (male and female) and juveniles (male and female) whose cards were selected. If nothing else, it certainly makes for some colorful maps which will be on display in the libraries. The figures we are compiling will be very in teresting for comparative purposes with the other library systems in the state. State Librarian David McKay expects to get a much better picture of the state-of-the-library-art when all the results are tallied. It will not surprise Card Os Thanks I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many friends and relatives who remembered my late husband, Eddie Nixon with so many acts of kindness, while he was a patient in Chowan Hospital. To all of you who remembered me with your prayers, cards, letters, flowers and phone calls, as well as your visits while I was a patient in Norfolk General Hospital and since my return to my brother’s home. Each act of kindness is greatly appreciated. p Mrs. Mattie P. Nixon Longer-life light bulbs give several times as many hours of use as standard bulbs but provide less light per watt. Use them in place where it is difficult to change bulbs.

"AgtMm By Nellie M. Sanders Director, Pettigrew Regional Library any of us to learn that much improvement is needed to bring us up to minimum standards throughout the state. Screeches ON THE AGENDA— Every year at about this time in the spring, the In stitute of Government plana a conference for librarians and library trustees - with the emphasis on trustees. The librarians show up in force but attendance by trustees is never as good as we hope because, presumably, they find it difficult to get away. I hope it is not because they lack iqjerest in the civic responsibility which they have accepted. In the case of the newest member of the Pettigrew Regional Library Board, I know there is no lack of interest. Mary Alice Goodwin literally grew up with the Washington County Library and her two children have been using it since they were infants. This year the conference is being held in Chapel Hill on April sth and 6th. By that time, the dogwood should be in full bloom and a trip through the eastern part of the state will be a beautiful sight even if there was no other reason to travel. Mrs., James P.
