HORACE CARTER WHITEVILLE — Compared! with many others, the Columbus County Library is in its infancy .vet its phenominal growth and success during ten years of existence stacks up favorably with any in Eastern North Caro lina. Organized in 194G with littlojj more than determination and a1' realization of the need, the li brary now has its own building and this month begins operation of a new and ultra-modern $7000 bookmobile. When the organizational meet ing was held at the county courtjj house in 194ß. Lloyd Collier. Sr.. was elected chairman of the Hoard of Trustees, a job he h.->« held continuously since tint ime. In those early years of 'he library. Mr Collier, while •lhysically handicapped to some "\tcnt. could walk a little, and '»e was constantly working to im I •l'ove and build the library. To day. he gets about only by wheel •hair but his determination and ••nthuslism for the library ha·-' never ceased. Among the most surer«'»·!
