A minimum of $5,000 cash is needed to meet that goal. The voice of determination was sounded after a review of obliga tions for furnishings and equip ment, landscaping, moving and other expenses which must be met before the new Richard H. Thorn ton library can be placed in full use. .. ...' ■ ' ' The board said the minimum need is $5,000, hi addition to unpaid, pledges. The finance committee of tbp supporting J organization, Friends of Gran ville Gbunty Library, is being reghestSd to make an immedi ate endeavor to convert all pledges into cash. In addition, the financial need will be laid before the people of many communities of the county who seldom visit the library or any of its branches, but who are reg ularly served by the Library Book mobile. Mrs. Pou Coats Jr. of the Library staff will begin an imme diate effort to request the finan cial support of these portions. The Library Board also recom mended a renewal of the effort to obtain additional memorial gifts of $1,000. Plaques are to be install ed in the library bearing the name and other information about per sons so honored in life or memory. Appointments may be made at the library for a visit to the new build* ing, with an inspection of the in terior, for any who may have seri ous interest in making such a gift, which is tax deductible. April, the Library Board is shooting for a formal opening not later tban mid-May. No firm date can be fixed because of the uncertainty of arrival dates of items which require from eight to ten weeks for de livery after placement of or ders. The Richard H. Thornton Li brary has brought many raves from persons who have seen only the exterior. It was the consensus of board members at the Friday night meeting that with the job so near completion, that no com promises should be made and that the door of opportunity should be "kept open” for those who wish to make initial gifts, those who wish to increase earlier gifts and to all who will renew annual member ships in Friends of Granville Coun ty Library. The Library Board has planned interior equipment and furnishings and landscaping which are in full keeping with the design of the building. James Godwin of God win and Bell, landscape architects, Raleigh, is preparing the landscape plan for the building. Orders were placed Monday for some additional equipment and yet pther needs are on the waiting list pending the outcome of public response to the financial appeal.
