board of commissioners here
Tuesday evening, Mrs. J C. Cooke,
member of the library committee,
told about the growth of the in
stitution and outlined its press
ing needs.
The library was opened in the
spring of 19118 after a public
subscription netted $306 Shelves
were placed in the Legion Hut
and 600 books were borrowed
from the Library Commission. In
the first two weeks, according to
Mrs. Cooke. 251 book borrowers
I were on the library list. Two
I years later the list had grown to
j 933 borrowers, and now there are
more than 1.300 patrons.

August 18. it was announced
today. "We would be glad to
open the houses earlier, but
we earnestly believe the to
bacco will be in better condi
tion when it is not placed on
the floors too far ahead of
the sales.” local warehouse
men explained.
It was announced that the
market will not book space

plaining that the system had l
its disadvantages in the past. j

supplemented from the regional I
library service shelves. Magazine j
and newspaper subscriptions have |
just about disappeared from the '
library on account of a fund |
shortage.
In 1939, the town gave the li- |
bi-ary $50 and in 1942 only $25
was appropriated. However, in I
1943 the town appropriated $300 ,
and as a result of action taken
this week, nearly $1,000 will be j
given the library by the town. -
Mrs. Cooke said that approxi
mately $1,000 had been spent an
nually in keeping the library
open since 1938.
The need for the library was
pointed out when Mrs. Cooke
said that 154 books were circulat
ed in a 5-hour period this week.
Boy Scouts, recognizing the
need for enlarged facilities, have
started a building fund, a late
report stating that the youngsters
had raised about $4.00.
