Haney, daughter of Oklahoma pioneers, is a pion eer in North Carolina today, as librarian for both Moore and Richmond Counties. She is part of a program, still somewhat exper imental, set up under the state library system to give rural areas the chance to have good public libraries. Miss Haney, a friendly person whose interest in her work seems to arouse interest in others, mov ed here last week from Rock ingham, where she has lived dur ing the past three years. Her new apartment at May Street and Pennsylvania Avenue provides a midpoint stopping-place between Carthage and Rockingham. “Rural areas can have as good library service as cities, if they want and will support them,” she says. After three years, she is happily confident the program is sound, will work—and is work ing. Expanding The Moore-Richmond set-up is one of four or five “sharing” pro grams in the State, under which two or more counties pool funds to set up what is actually one library with several branches. For the “shared” librarian, it is double trouble—and double joy. Working with two library boards, two sets of commissioners, two staffs to be trained, two school systems, two bookmobiles, two budgets, she has seen both librar ies expand, meeting an increasing public response. “Both my library boards are excellent, made up of sincere and earnest people who work hard at 4heir job, and the county commis sioners are very cooperative,” she says. “Of course there never is enough money, but it was through their vision in the first place, their willingness to meet the stan dards to qualify for state and fed eral funds, that the program has become possible at all.” The main requirement, of course, has been the employment of a librarian with a library science degree—beyond the means of most small counties, if indeed they could find such a person at all. Trained Persons Needed “There aren’t nearly enough of us—I don’t know why more young people don’t choose this as a career. Not only counties but states are competing all the time,” Miss Haney said. For state funds, certain stan dards must be maintained from V' .I"** NOTICE OF PRESENTATION OF BUDGET ESTIMATE As required by law, notice is hereby given that the Bud get Estimate for Moore County for the fiscal year 1960-61, as prepared by the County Accountant, has been pre sented to the undersigned and a copy of the same is gn file for public inspection in the office of the Register of Deeds. The tentative tax rate is $1.35 as follows: Schools County purposes other than schools Total $ .85 .50 $ 1.35 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MOORE COUNTY By Audrey McCas^ill Clerk of the Bdard MISS HOLLIS C. HANEY ;year to year; for federal funds, ,actual improvement must be [shown. The counties’ efforts have made their libraries part of what Miss Hapey calls “one of the finest state library inter-loan systems in the country,” famous in the pro fession. Under this well-organiz ed, fast-working system, headed by the State Library at Raleigh, with Inter-Loan Center at the University library at Chapel Hill, any book at either place or any public library in the State is avail able to any borrower, anywhere. Born at Tulsa, Okla., Miss Han ey moved with her family at the age of two to Oklahoma City, where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James A. Haney, and married brother still live. After high school, she spent one year at Cot- tey Junior College at Nevada, Mo. (and call that “Ne-vay-da,” please), then transferred to Okla- home City University. Always a book-lover (“kind of an egg head”) she worked for two years as assistant librarian there while aiming toward a library career. In War Work Ready to start her senior year 1943, instead she entered an accelerated engineering course de signed to train women to take the places of rhen gone to war. Cer tified after 10 months at the Uni versity of Texas, she went to tiss-Wright Aviation at Buffalo,, county ones) under the new pro grams of state and Federal aid. Taking a $700 salary cut, she went to Pawhuska (“in the Indian country”) to help engineer the establishment of the first regional library under state planning. At another ALA meeting, in 1957, she met Mrs. Elizabeth Hughey, North Carolina state li brarian, and learned at first hand what was happening here. “North Carolina had long been known in the profession for its progressive rural library program, one of the first and best in the country,” she says. “Mrs. Hughey persuaded me to come and see for myself.” The state librarian arranged meetings with six sets of county boards planning region al or sharing programs. She chose the Moore-Richmond offer be cause “I liked the people here.” The counties share her salary and administrative expenses, and she can choose her place of resi dence. The office from which she administers both progrsups is at Carthage, because space could be provided there. The Richmond li brary, though younger than Moore’s, is larger, because it was based on a town library already set up. It is open five and a half days a week, whereas Moore’s so far is open only two, Mondays and Fridays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. If this year’s fund requests are met, it will be open oftener. Miss Haney is at Carthage on Mondays,, at Rockingham on Tuesdays and the rest of the work week divides her time according to the need. Book-swapping in some cate gories has expanded the resources of both libraries, and just this year each county put $500 into a fund which was then matched by Federal funds, to buy books for special needs. Others on Staff The Moore library serves school and community libraries which request such service. It now has a list of nine schools, and town libraries of Pinebluff and Rob bins, with supplementary chil dren’s books provided for South ern Pines. Mrs. Dorothy Bralley is acting bookmobile librarian, Mrs. Lewis Marts the driver. Mrs. H. M. Parker, a part-time worker, does typing and staffs the desk. When Miss Haney came in Sep tember, 1957, the county library was housed in the Southern Pines Library building. In January, 1959, the library moved to sep arate quarters leased in the coun ty seat. Now plans call for a li brary built for the purpose, with room to grow, in the proposed county agricultural building. With a national public library average "of two books per capita, North Carolina, with less than one, is still far behind. The Moore library hopes to pass the 20,000 mark this year. “Many people used to think libraries were just for children,” Miss Haney says. “Now more adults are feeling the need for books, to enrich their lives and help them meet the chal lenge of today’s world. Gradually we are building up a balanced library to meet these needs, and I am more and more sold on the knowledge that the rural area, if it wants it, can have as good li brary service as any city. It is ex citing to see this coming true.” Miss Haney is chairman of the federal relations committee of the N. C. Library association, and vice-president of the Piedmont Library Council. W. T.
