SEEKING SUPPORT - A critical issue for public : libraries is currently being considered by an important sub-committee on Appropriations of the North Carolina . General Assembly. House Bill Number 1004 was reported ; favorably by the sub-sub-committee on Public Libraries, recommending substantial increases in State Aid to Public ' Libraries. Before it becomes law, as part of the 1977-79 ' budget, it needs a favorable report from the joint (Senate & - House) Appropriations Committee on General Government : and Transportation. Every public librarian, every library trustee, every friend-of-the-library, every County Commissioner is being ' urged to back this bill which is needed to provide increased direct support to public library systems in every county in i the state. .. ' ' According to the Stick Report which was issued some years ago by a Legislative Study Commission headed by David Stick of Dare County, the state should provide at ; least half of the funds for operating public libraries. In t order to achieve this, a schedule for increased appropria . tions was outlined but the state budgets for the last few 1 years have fallen short of these recommendations. An effort to rectify this situation prompted the Libraries Committee . to submit a special bill (House Bill 1004) which calls for ad ditional funds. It is important to let the legislators know that public libraries deserve their support. The North Carolina Library Association (NCLA) has a legislative committee and the chairman, Wake County Public Librarian Bill O'Shea, does a great job of keeping the legislators and the librarians in formed of each other's activities and needs. But he cannot do it alone. At the Planning Council meeting held in Raleigh last week for officers and committee chairmen of the NCLA Public Libraries Section, he urged that everyone contact their Senators and Representatives preferably in person or else by phone or letter. Even more effective than . librarians (who have a vested interest in the bill) would be for patrons of the libraries to encourage the legislators' support. SCREECHES GETTING IN TOUCH Because of the hectic schedule for legislators during the "home stretch" the last few - weeks of the session which traditionally is reserved for final . action on the budget and other "money bills" it is difficult to get in touch with our Representatives and Senators. As luck would have it, while the librarians were meeting in .Raleigh, County Commissioners from all over the state were also meeting for a briefing on current legislation. . Thanks to Lester Simpson, Chairman of the Perquimans . County Commissioners, I was invited to the reception for legislators and commissioners held at The Hilton Inn and then to dinner with the First District delegation. .. Although the occasion was a social one, I managed to talk to many legislators about the Public Libraries bill and . received a favorable reception. Our Senator Melvin Daniels of Elizabeth City is Chairman of the Appropriations sub committee and he assured me that he gives public libraries a high priority. A similar assurance came from Represen . tative Stanford White who is a member of the same subcom mittee. But they need to hear from more constituents. My courtesy calls at the Legislative Building the next day ; netted me an opportunity to visit several pretty secretaries and to observe the legislators from the gallery while they deliberated a highway bill they were too busy for con , sultations. However, I saw many of them again that night ' since Representative Vernon James very graciously invited v me, my daughter Cyndy and her, husband Jet Barker, to , join him at the Spring Fling pig-picking given, by Luther Hodges, Jr. Marching Unit Positions Open It is not too late to join the Perquimans County Marching Unit for 1977-78. There will be a practice of the unit on Mon day, May 30 at 3 p.m. for old and new members. The prac tice session will be held at Perquimans County High School. Mrs. LaClaire Rogerson, instructor, invites interested girls who will be in grades nine through twelve next year to contact her before Monday or to come to the school.
