Train Of Thought News Of Norlina Public Library By LILLIAN KILIAN It's getting on to Christmastime! Youngsters can't wait for the holidays to begin. As exciting as all this may be, days of boredom will come, with questions such as this: "What can I do now?" This is the post-Christmas doldrums getting to you. Here's a remedy: read a good book. Get ready to defeat the nasty doldrums by checking out a few books now and having them on hand for this post-Christmas period of the blahs. We have a plan to help. Heretofore our policy has been to loan a book for a period of only two weeks before it should be returned or renewed. Our policy has been temporarily changed: Books borrowed at any time during the month of December, 1984 need not be returned or renewed until January 7, 1985. So, come check out some books and make every day of your holiday a happy day! Indexing continues with a little help from my friends, Sharon Paschal! and Helen Jones. What a pleasure it is when someone now asks for a book on a certain subject, for us to be able to say, "Just a minute. I will check the index," and then to be able to locate the book requested. We have begun the 900 series—the last. Then we will begin indexing the Junior Section. GIFTS: Mrs. Alice King presented three large bags of miscellaneous books, mostly for children. Mr. and Mrs. Leigh Traylor presented a beautiful book entitled, "The Medieval and Renaissance World." YOU ASKED FOR IT: When the book by George Orwell entitled, "1984" was advertised, later receiving raves in the news, we were asked if we had a copy. We were sorry we did not. However, we have now purchased a copy for you, first come, first served. We have also recently purchased "Literary Terms" (a dictionary) and for the students of religion, "The Koran" and "Jews in the Roman World." It is a joy when young people return to the library with a highly graded school paper they have written, using books from this library for their research, or when their writing has won for them national honors. It is a joy when others ask, "What can I do to help the library?" These are nice young folks, a credit to our community and it is wonderful that this little library is here for their use. Please continue to either return or renew your books on time. I am finishing my first year as librarian. I have made mistakes, but they were made from inexperience, and possibly from my being overly zealous to do a good job. I apologize for any inconvenience they have caused you. Thanks to all for your friendship and cooperation in 1984 and we look forward to even a nicer 1985. The library will be closed December 21, 1984 to January 7,1985. We wish for you and yours a joyous Christmas and a happy and spirit-filled New Year. Fleming Gets Promotion William P. Fleming, a Norlina native, has been promoted to regional vice president with A.
