To Move Library To Y. M. C. A. Building I - Will Observe Same Hours As During Past On Friday of this week the pub lic library will be moved from West Main street to the new Gil vin Roth Y. M. C. A., according to an announcement Tuesday. For the present the library will observe the same hours as in the past. Mrs. W. J. Price will continue to serve as librarian. The library, which was opened here on September 27, 1937, has enjoyed a splendid growth. The project was sponsored by the Elk in Woman’s Club during the time that Mrs. Paul Gwyn served as president of that group and much of the growth of the library is due to her untiring efforts. She has served as library chairman for the Woman’s Club since its organ ization. The library has had financial support from a WPA grant since its beginning, and this with con tributions of books and money from individuals and civic organ izations has enabled the library committee to acquire 1,250 vol umes, including fiction, non-fic tion, and reference books, in add- * ition to many magazines and per iodicals. The library will continue to serve the public as it has in the past, the move being made be- j cause of thq withdrawal of fin ancial support from the WPA and the fact that the new location will be more suitable for the pur pose. , A library board composed of a representative of the town and various civic organizations has been appointed. The board is i composed of Mayor J. R. Poindex- i ter for the town; Mrs. Clyde Eller 1 and Mrs. Paul Gwyn from the r Woman’s Club; John Sagar from ] the Junior Chamber of Commerce, 1 and Garland Johnson from the s Kiwanis Club. 1 For Victory—Iluy U.
