HE PERQUIMANS W if 1,1 Hi,'; i If Volume XXIV. Number 39. Public Response To App ealFbr Funds The response to" the call for help in the case of the Perquim ans County Library has been grat ifying, according to Mrs. W. H, Pitt, who as cVairman of the li brary board is heading the drive for funds to renovate and repair the brick building which the town of Hertford and the Board of Edu cation have given to the Perquim 6ns County Library for its use. The library board members and the librarians have talked ever the situation with numerous peo ple, and each one has expressed real interest in the library prob lem as well as a willingness to help. It has been interesting to note .that since last week's news story on the library's problem, a num ber of people have expressed con cern over the need of financial help, they had thought that be cause the library is largely state supported, that no local support is necessary. Many others have expressed interest in the exten sive scope of the library sery.'ce.
