We have been able to furnish reading material on subjects covering political, social, and scientific growth and development of our great United States of America, from thedays of George Washin^on through the assassination of John F. Ken nedy, We have had to brush up on our knowledge of the classics and English and American poets to be able to keep ahead of the re quests from the English classes at the high school. We have been both surprised and pleased to see the enthusiasm with which these boys and girls have approached the job of reading for and the writing of these term papers. Our hats are off to the faculty of Northampton High for giving them the opportunity to try their wings in the field of research and writ ing. The resources of this library are at your disposal, and we wel come the opportunity to help. Recently, Grady Vaughan, a steady visitor to the bookmo bile at its Potecasi stop, started us on a hunt for two books writ ten in the late 1800’s, When he was a young man, Mrs. Vaughan read “Ishmael” and “Self Rais ed” and wants to read them again. Where to find them? Written long ago and out of print! We began to search and inquire. Mrs. J, R. Edwards of Seaboard found that EDEN Southworth was the au thor. Last week we found the books themselves in Mrs, A. C. Gay’s attic. So on our next book mobile trip to Potecasi we will take “Ishmael” and “Self-Rais ed” to Mr. Vaughan. Mrs. L. A. Froelich and Mrs, Lillian H. Pearce attended a re gional meeting of Northeastern District librarians in Edenton on March 4, The purpose of this meeting was to discuss and plan a training school for sub-profes sional library workers.
