WHAT OUR LIBARAY

JERRY CHAMBERS
Here at Murphy High we have
a fair library, but it could be
vastly improved. Often one can
not find a book he wishes to read
because the selection is too small.
On the other hand, a small libr
ary can be immensely helpful if
one knows how to use it or will
take the trouble to try.
Our library is of great help
in writing term papers, biograph
ical reports, and similar assign
ments. It has up - to - date
materials and encyclopedias for
this purpose. The library staff is
very cooperative and assists the
students very much in this way.
The library also contains cur
rent magazines which are both
interesting and informative, and
they provide many hours of
pleasure for the students. There
is a fairly good selection of fict
ion - type books for light read
ling. and there is also a good
'selection of non - fiction books
: for more serious reading. We are
I required to make eight books re
I ports per year and we can us
ually find a book to report on
here in our school library.
Although it is not the best, our
library is helpful to us and we
should be appreciative of it. Many
schools have no library whatso
ever and thfe students are incon
venienced a great deal.
; We should make full use of the
facilities we do have and con
tinually strive to make them bet
ter.
WHAT OUR LIBARAY
MEANS TO ME
,

WALTER OWENSBY
| First of all. our library means
a collection of writings that 1 do
! not have at home. There I can
lake advantage of publications
! I could not otherwise have.
Our library has a variety of
magazines and newspapers which
:1 may use. The reference books,
magazines, encyclopedias, and un
abridged dictionaries are sources
I use most when preparing a re
ference paper.
The atmosphere of a library
seems to help me study. I think
of the library as a place to study
and a place where I shall not
be interrupted. There people res
pect my working.
Probably the thing 1 use the
library most for is a source of
books for my own enjoyment, and
for book reporis. I can depend
on our library for access to the
better fiction and biographies.
WHAT OUR LIBRARY
MEANS TO ME

WANDA TIMPSON
Libraries make up one of, the
most important pails of the basis
of our democracy Within their
walls is found the key to know
ledge of all aspects of life. With
this knowledge we can govern our
selves. free from the worry, that
we might be cheated of our rights
as citizens of a free country.
Libraries go side by side with
our education. They unfold many
facts that can not be put in a
'textbook. They help to extend a
child's knowledge of his subjects.
AUNT HET
SII'mcometax.
Folks I know are pretty
much alike. If some seem
more cheerful and polite
and big-hearted, its be
cause they have less rea
son to be grouchy.
There always exist those book
reports to be written. In this case,
no one likes libraries.
Relaxing with a good book, a
reader can soar to immeasurable
heights. He may be surrounded by
pre-historic animals in his own
living room. He can feel the
excitement of Killing a shark or
righting an octopus while sitting
under a shady tree. He may
watch sympathetically as the hero
of some war novel fights his way
through a line of fire. He may
hrough a line of fire. He may
shed tears when some innocent
child is returned to its parents
after having been kidnapped by
some obnoxious gangster. Still, he
finds it relaxing.
Not all books are about century
old subjects. Most of them are
modern. They tell about other
countries. They make us realize
why they live and believe the way
they do. This brings about better
human relations over the whole 1
world. i
Libraries show us the way our
ancestors lived. Their thoughts,
their ideas, their desires, and '
their problems are alive once
again. We live with them as they
cross the barren desert, climb
over tlie snow-covered Rockies,
build their mud-chinked houses,
and provide for their half-starved
families. We rejoice with them
when they conquer the wild front
ier.
The most important thing that
libraries do for us is give lis:
a chance to express our ideas,
our defeats, and our victories. No'
longer does the good of man - kind i 1
have to die with the death of
its generation. It can be immortal-'
ized for as long as man can read
and will use his ability to do so.
This all means more to me than
I could possibly realize now. It
means better living today and
greater hope for the future.
