Library closed for renovations
Most of you have proably noticed
that the library is closed for reno
vations. We will remained closed
until Nov. 7 at 9:30, when we re
sume normal operating hours. I
must say that I nave mixed emo
tions about being closed. Most im
portantly, it make me feel
extremely uncomfortable to have
the library closed for any length of 1
time because it has now come down
to books stacked on the ground,
shelving being moved, and dirt fly
ing everywhere whidi precludes
the library being functional. If I am
honest though (and I think that I
occasionally am), I will most miss
those library users who will not be
around for two weeks telling me
and the rest of the staff just how
wonderfully dedicated we are for
working under these “awful,” “un
healthy,” and “miserable” condi
tions. It’s been a heady experience
for us all and we thank you for your
support
I had a wonderful time at the
card party. The turnout was ter
rific. As I have said previously, I
have never been to a card party
and it was most fun. I played Triv
ial Pursuit and feel compelled to
tell you that my teammates, Patsy
Miller and Ann Carol White, and
myself overcame our opponents
and won the game. It would have
been kinder to let those men play
chess! Thanks to Patsy Miller and
the other members of the Perqui
mans County Library Board for the
refreshments and the arrange
ments. Thank you to all who at
tended, and thanks particularity
for tolerating the noisy table at
which I sat. Usually, so shy and de
mur, I must say I do tend to laugh a
lot, not to mention loudly, on occa
sion! I hope that the bride scores
did not reflect the distractions.
The response to our furniture
plight has been quite good. Believe
me, I hate to ask for money as
much as you hate to be asked, par
ticularly after you have raised so
much money for the building. How
ever, we are moving closer to hav
ing the money for what we need to
furnish the library. Our most heart
felt appreciation goes to Capt. and
Mrs. David H. Green of Hertford,
Mrs. Helene Nixon, Mr. Julian
Winslow, and Mrs. Louise C. Woods
for their generous contributions to
ward the furniture purchase.
Thank you to Mrs. Mary Alice
Brinn for her pledge for one wing
backed chair for the North Carolina
Room in memory of her late hus
band, Capt. Rufus T. Brinn. Mrs.
C.R. Holmes has pledged for an
adult conference room chair for the
North Carolina Room. Dr. and Mrs.
Joseph R. Haskett have donated a
chair for the children’s room. Mrs.
Charles Johnson has also donated
Reunion held

Dear
friends,
After a loved one dies,
there is so much sadness and
pain, but don't try to sup
press your memories — build
on them. It can be comforting
and healing to remember the
wonderful times spent to
gether, and the deep feelings
expressed. Recall the humor
ous times and laugh about
them. Remembering with
loughter is healing. Though
you must accept your loved
one's death, you need hot
sever all ties. Beautiful mem
ories can help mend the bro
ken heart.
Respectfully,
j&urinbell S

PAIR AND A SPARE
People usually don't realize how much they depend on their
eyeglasses or contact lenses — until they don't have them! Per
haps the reading glasses have been left behind on the night ta
ble, or someone has carelessly stepped on glasses and smashed
a lens and/or the frame. Bad enough if this happens at home;
worse yet if you’re on a trip in a foreign country.
Fact is, anyone who can’t see at least 20/60 at distance, or who
can’t read or see small objects clearly close up, should have a
spare pair of glasses in case of emergency. Keep them handy in
the car, at your desk, in your suitcase if you're on a trip, or even
in your locker at the shop. Even if you don't choose a designer
frame for your spare pair, the lenses should reflect your latest
eyeglass prescription so you can see your best.
Even contact lens wearers should have an emergency pair of
glasses in case a lens tears or the eyes become irritated.
