sfe AlongV The Emily Way \ Killette ^ Very seldom do people today think of America in the terms of the new world. Within the last 100 years automobiles and airplanes have been perfected and education ha> become very important. Today colleges and 1 universities have been established within a convenient distance of almost any home. Within our county in the last 40 years, one of the most important parts of the education system has been established in Kenansville. The Duplin County Library was estab lished in Kenansville during 1944, according to an1 OUober 31, 1947 issue of THE DUPLIN TIMES. Often in colonial and Civil War days, a public or private library preceded the foundation of any type of formal educational institution. The Duplin County Library ope rated four years opening only limited ? hours during the weekdays. Books from the Duplin Library became scattered through the local commu nities during these foiy years. In 1947 the state government allocated funds to pay full-time salaries for all North Carolina county libraries. The state contributed an annual salary of $2,500 and Duplin County supplied the library facilities. In the three years previous the state had allocated Duplin $1,800 annually to use for the purpose of operating a library. Also, in 1947 the state allotted Duplin $2,000 to use to buy new books for the library. A book mobile was expected to be delivered to Duplin's library in January of 1948. At the time 20 bookmobiles had been delivered to county libraries in the state and Duplin was to be next. According to the >1947 article, a new full-time librarian had been hired and arrived in Duplin Novem ber t. The name of Duplin's first full-time librarian remains today as the name of the county library ? Dorothy Wightman. Miss Wightman was not a native of North Carolina and had only worked in our state less than two years* when she came to Duplin. Prior to working as Duplin's full-time librarian. Mips Wightman was em ployed in Person, Orange and Cas well counties. She was a graduate of Western Reserve Library School and worked in libraries of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Her work in Duplin began November 3,1947. The efforts Miss Wightman made to build a storehouse of information in books that were readily available to, local citizens has improved each individual using the facility. Today, the Duplin Countv-Dorothv Wight man Library is located on Seminary Street In Kenansville. The library is under the leadership of another dedicated individual, John Michaud.
