WPA Gives Impetus To
State Library Service
By GEO. W. COAN, JR.,
State WPA Administrator
Books! It's in the Books! Every
thing within the knowledge of man
is in the books ! Want to know how
to make a wheel-barrow? What's
the present economic trend ? The
law applicable to a given case ? The
cause and cure of that disease?
Want entertainment ? Go .to the
books. 'That which is past is pro
logue" is graven on the entrance
to the National Archives building in
Washington. Truly what has gone
before is the basis of the future.
Lincoln and countless thousands
trudged many weary miles to bor
row a book and return it. The pro
curement of a good tome was an
event in those days. Strange to re
late, that is just as true for mil
lions today in these United States.
Especially so in states whose popu
lations are preponderantly rural.
Why? Two main causes thousands
without funds necessary to make
,the purchase lack of library" and
distribution facilities. The state, and
other libraries, the TVE extension
service possess many good books.
The problem includes conditioning
used books and servicing county
and school libraries, the crossroad
store, the factory and the rural
home.
Before WPA
In North Carolina, 1935, 35 coun
ties had partial library service, 34
counties had county and city library
service, while 41 counties were with
out any type of library service. The
legislative appropriation for the
state library commission' was $9,288
while county and city combined ex
penditures, including private dona
tions, were $180,277. The year of
1935 also found many North Caro
linians needy, unemployed. Hun
dreds, men and women, were "white
collar" workers, some of whom
knew Jibrary work, others could by
training acquire tfte, talents of book
mending, cataloguing, indexing, li
brary service and extension. North
Carolina sorely needed such addi
tions for its welfare. In accordance
with WPA fundamentals, the state
wide library project was formulated.
To this worthwhile, socially useful
enterprise, hundreds suited to and
eligible for this type of work re
lief were assigned,
WPA Training: Courses
Intensive training courses in
bookmending and library science
have been continuously conducted
by skilled WPA supervisors to the
end that each- worker might be
motivated and assisted in doing ef
ficient work 'on his or her partic
ular project. New libraries have
been opened, old ones enlarged.
They and those to come will find

a County Library
Unit in Operation
I skilled workers. A greater number
of our citizenry is being, better
' equipped for private employment by
VVrA development ot human re
sources, through the library instruc
tion periods.
The Cht&nge
Now, 95 counties have library
service. In 159 public library units,
WPA workers are, assisting with
the clerical work, routine duties,
keeping open longer hours. In the
schools, 545 WPA units are operat
ing. Three hundred of these are
making the .libraries available for
student use during the entire school
day while many of these would not
be open save for the WPA libra
rians. In schools where, trained,
other than WPA,- heads are em
ployed, the WPA workers assist
with magazine and pamphlet col
lections, with accessioning and cata
loguing and repairing books, keep--ing
the rooms arranged, attractive.
In book repair units, over 900,000
public school text books, and li
brary volumes have been repaired
and returned to circulation.
Booknuobiles
North Carolina has 15 bookmo
biles. WPA operates eight of these,
through its library and adult edu
cation projects, in the counties of
Cleveland, Catawba, Montgomery,
Warren, Surry, Rutherford, Anson,
and a tri-county bookmobile serving
Ashe, Alleghany and Watauga.
Warren county library began book
mobile service in November.
The North Carolina Library Com
mission has a bookmobile which is
loaned free to counties for demon
stration. The county library plans
the trips and supplies gas and oih
WPA assigns a driver and a li
brary worker. Books are made
available by the county library and
the North Carolina Library Com
mission. This vehicle is "booked-up"
far into 1939.
Bookmobiles which operate on
regular schedules and which take
books to all sections of the coun
ties, have proved that people are
anxious for good books to read.
Books are loaned to individuals,
schools and community centers. All
types of books are requested, books
on current events, on auto-mechanics,
on bee raising, 'books of poems,
as well as good stories of adven
ture or romance.
The Need is Still Great
Out of economic necessity has
evolved this great service to Tar
Hcelia, furrowing new ground. Much
of the field still lies fallow. The
1936-37 annual library report dis
closes that about one-half of the
population of this state is without
public library service. Other than
providing worthwhile employment i
for many in distress, the WPA ob
jective is to awaken interest
throughout the state to the end
that permanent library programs be
established.
Gen. Lee's Joke
Have you thought of Robert E.
Lee, as a man who thoroughly en
joyed a good joke? One cold eve
sing he invited a group of young
officers in to partake of a two
gallon jug of some "very fine 'stuff'
sent by a friend. Ceremoniously
Lee filled their cups with butter
milk. The Progressive Farmer.
