A very old Encyclopedia Brittanica given in memory oi the first librarian is still use ful and useable, but an up-to date set would be very useful too. William Chait, head of the American Library Association County survey team which in spected the library recently praised our library and ex pressed the view that consid ering the size of the communi ty and budget the library was doing a wonderful job. When asked about encyclo pedias, Mr. Chait recommend ed the new Collier’s Encyclo pedia, a 24-volume set includ ing index.
