WHAT ITS LIBRARY MEANS
TO SOUTHERN PINES
“Why should I support the Li
brary?” said a man the other
day. “Let the people who want
to borrow the books support it.
I see no more reason for sup
porting the Library than for
supporting the movie theatre."
Well, of course, most people
don't feel that way; if they did
few libraries would be in exis
tence. But questions like that
serve a purpose. It is good for us
all to have to think about them,
and to answer them as carefully
and accurately! as we can. Why
should a man support our town
library ?
