Librarian Rides The Bookmobile In This County ....... llurwl Art- l .iuii'. • Books By the Armfuls Every Mouth in Year -* By Mrs. Elizabeth It Copeland District Librarian A day on the bookmobile is a real education! It offers us the t l priceless opportunity of talking to the people we buy books for all the time. We had just such a day recently in Martin County in the vicinity of Oak City. Of course, everybody over there is busy getting tobacco ready for market. We really did not expect to get to see many of our folks. And we did miss quite a number. But to our great satisfaction, they didn’t miss their books. Instead of the usual family group and close neighbors, we were met by one member who selected books for all. But let me tell you about it. We were delayed in leaving Washington and therefore missed the early-part of the day. We joined Mrs. Peelc and Mrs. Scott in the little village of Hassell where the bookmobile was just completing its regular visit with Mrs. Nelson and her neighbors. We didn't see the books they bor rowed but we noticed they had from 15 to 20 each. Then Mrs Nelson wouldn't let us leave until ■llHilli... i.u^piiiili'wiiii jiiffim five baby toy terriers. She told | us she wants to raise them for1 selling and we made a mental note to send her some books on the I care and feeding of dogs. From there we went on down the road to stop with Mis. Ed mondson. We parked under the ; were immediately surrounded by I several children from the neigh-! borhood and Mrs. Edmondson! herself who came out with a plate j of beartifu! chocolate cske she! had just baked. it was for our lunch, she said, and she hoped it | would be enough to go around.! We smiled later when we opened! it to find six huge slices! The children found their own books' and we helped Mrs. Edmondson i select for al ltheir mothers and select for all their mothers and tobacco barns. "I don’t know what we would do without the bookmobile." she said, and her eight year old son said. "Mama if it hadn't been for the bookmobile I couldn't have started school in the second grade, could I?" Then she told us of her recent attend ance at a Roman Catholic wedding and we discussed varieties of church ceremonies Our next stop was at the Briley home where again we found books to meet the wishes of all the family, historical fiction, sports stories and others. We stopped at Barrett's Drug Store in Oak City for lunch and that wonderful Chocolate cake. Then to Mrs. Liverman who told us of her 21 year old son in the army while she held her one year 0mm _ oT,.' amt con iWVWV , and other services.

One of the NiVtii 1»- ‘.V us and he went flying to *>?.. barn with the news that we had arriv ed. We left fairy stories for the girls and horses, dm^ and Indians for the boys. It was i happy oc casion with perhaps ten people of all ages gathered for a visit to the library. As we approached Smith’s store on the Palmyra road we saw a little boy running toward the house and we heard the familiar cry, “Bookmobile's here! Book mobile's here!” In a push cart with her seven month old baby, Sarah Smith was bringing also the great quantity of books she had read this past month. Her husband is away in service and these books have helped her to pass many lonely hours. Both children and grown people came out to this stop and we had a gogd time talking with them about crops, politics and the books they had read. Next came the Harrell family long-time bookmobile patrons and avid readers. They have a large book shelf in their living room. Each month they empty it and re fill it with bookmobile books. And what's more, they read those books -Amy Jean, fifteen year old daughter, always gets from 115 to 50 books for herself She is not and her mother selected books for her. Her younger brother reads 'almost as many and her mother is not far behind. They wanted [all kinds—good novels, biogra phies, travel, adventure and [others. Mrs. Harrell asked for a particular book on house plan ning. She is going to renovate her kitchen and wanted some help We ll take her books on that subject next month. She had a big pitcher of ice water ready foi she knew on a hot day we'd hi thirsty. We drank three glasses each! We went on to the Mannings and drove into the cool back yard Inspected the chickens, including Easter biddies now grown up and hack to their natural color. Left an arm full of books for the par ents anrl the son who suffers with arthritis and could not come out His mother told us how ho looks forward to bookmobile day. A few more smaller stops and we made our way back into Wil liamston about five-thirty. W< went to our small office to refi 1: our shelves with more books for tomorrow. Yes, a day on the bookmobile . ih« letter* Marl.
