Only five county Libraries in North Carolina were visited ours was selected because of our work with the children. Around 125 librarians and trustees have visited our Library. Recently, I appeared on a television show in Greensboro with four other librar ians. My particular part was to tell about County, Libraries in North Carolina. (Someone asked me if I worked for the Library or for the Chamber of Commerce because I told all about Haywood County.) I heard, too, that one librarian, from the extreme Eastern part said, "What's Margaret Johnston got up there that she should be selected to be on television?" So what do we have up here in Haywood County? We have a li brary that belongs to the people of the county. They make use of it; and' they enjoy it. They are proud of the progress we ; have made in the years of the library's existence. They admire the vision of that group of men and women back in 1891 who launched a li brary project, its total collection of books so small that two or three good Saturdays at the rate we are going now would have completely emptied the shelves., They are pa tient, when, a book that they want is not on the shelves they know that a building that was ample in 1912 just doesn't have enough shelves for 1951, We have a library that is of more and more use to the people of the county, Our patrons are mak ing it, not on'y the educational center of the area they are mak ing the library a vital part of their everyday lives. ; o it y r rov ii Club, Just the other day fed to say they would like t I I Teachers tell us that the the State Achievement e improved ' since we it Vacation Reading Pro- al people have access to both through the Book ed at the Library.
