VOliR LIBRARY By DORA KI TH PARKS. Librarian N?ntahala KcKiitnal Library Public Library Service is large ly what the public makes it. Li brary staffs are the go-betweens. Books are ordered and distributed in acocrdance with interests ex pressed in the community. These books are ordered in quantities made possible by the amount of money which t public author izes spent. Appropriating bodies are subject to public opinion in making all agency appropriations. It becomes the duty of the li brary staff, however, to report use made of service given from ap propriations. It becomes the duty of the libarry staff to make books available. There are now 132 deposits in Nantahala Regional Library Service Some people borrow books from the home of a neighbor, some borrow from the neighborhood store. Industrial plants, hotels. and hospitals make service available as a con venience for those who cannot get to the libaary The library staff could not make this service pos sible were it not for those custod ians who explain the routine of borrowing a library book on a self-service basis We have posi tive proof that books are read more widely when made accessi ble. We know t at more people are reading books than we are able to record. For instance, last summer a book of statistic which had been left at a bookmobile de posit showed no names on the cir culation card The custodian re ported, however A bunch of peo ple were here last Sunday and that book was t ie topic of con versation all afternoon." All businesses have some loss. The library business pxpccts the same. It is the aim ^f the Ration al Library to have books every where in the region so everybody may pick up a book at any time and read whatever appeals to in dividual tastes and moods. You as a resident of Nantahala Region can assist with this ser vice by returning books prompt ly to the deposit from which they were borrowed I know that it is easy to say. "I haven't finished with that book. I do want to read it. I'll keep it a little long er. It will not make any differ ence." I do it myself. However, if all of us realized that expendi ture for duplication of titles de pends tereelv on the amount of time it takes to ger books around to all the people interested in a certain title, and that accurate book purchasing depends on de mand, we would look around in It S ? withcut autTer:* * rr rn heu t ache too.

Scan the book you have put aside for future reading Decide whether it is worth further ; ume. If so it can be borrowed igain. you know. The period of loan for library books is two weeks with the privilege of an additional two weeks renewal. Most books can be read in a mon th. even by the busiest people. If you and I will see that our li brary books get back to the de - it from which they were taken within the month, there will be less less and more use of all books n the regicnl collection. If you ise a self service deposit, it Is very important that you charge books to yourself according to in j ictions f om the custodian or i written instructions left by the , bran staff. It is a simple pro edure Library books are com munity property and therefore are he property of your neighbor and '?ou. You would not think of be :ng as careless with records of personal property as you are with library book> Library patrons Jo not realize the advantage which is taken through lack of nsideration of the other fellow '?jod methods of library service j avoid stinting the use of book j collections That is the reason vour library collection is made I uist as accessible as possible Gjod methods of libary service also include a public responsibility the number of books made a- j vailable and the possible use of | those books LETITIA Mis.
