Waste matters
: -Each year North Carolina
Counties must send a report to
thu N.C. Department of
Environment and Natural
Resources detailing the
^.eights of materials recycled
and landfilled during the past
year. Materials recycled in
Perquimans, Chowan, and
Gates counties are measured
Collectively, and weights are
divided between the counties
based on population.
^ Tons recycled 1996/1997 fis
cal year (July 1-June 30)
Curbside and Drop Off
Recycling Programs were:
Perquimans County, includ
ing Hertford’s program 212
tons; Chowan County, includ
ing Edenton’s program 275
tons; and Gates County 195
tons.
In addition approximately
329 tons of appliances and
scrap metals were recycled col
lectively by all three counties.
The business community
practices additional waste
reduction measures which are
not included in these statis
tics, but are appreciated by all.
Cardboard, wood chips, pal
lets, and other materials are
frequently marketed for reuse
and recycling directly to
another company.
For more information about
your community’s solid waste
management practices or to
have a speaker address your
civic group or class, call PCG
Solid Waste Management at

September is busy at library
September is going to be a
bu'Sy month. The Friends of
the'Library membership drive
\kickoff will begin at 7 p.m.
irioh Monday, Sept. 14 here at
^&e library. Many people have
already expressed an interest
,iu joining the new organiza
tion, so I’m anticipating a good
turnout at the kickoff celebra-
.fipu and a successful member-
.ship drive. People joining the
Friends on Sept. 14 will auto
matically be charter members
for only $5.
Our semiannual Used Book
S.aie will begin on Saturday,
.Sept. 19 during the Indian
;8ummer Festival. It’s going to
;be a big sale, thanks in part to
many fine old books we recent
ly received from the estate of
Esther Evans. Those of you
iii'ho enjoy the feel of old bind
ings and the look of old type-
lades will want to be sure to
come by and take a look at
'some of the gems that will be
aviailable at our reasonable
rates. Esther Evans taught
English in Perquimans County
for a number of years before
koing to Simmons College to
study library science. She
served as a catalog librarian at
Duke University until her
retirement. Some of the books
from her large collection will
be added to our collection, but
many must go to our sale.
Proceeds from the book sale

will be used to purchase new
children’s books.
September is Children’s
Good Manners Month. Ann
Carol has been doing story-
times on the topic of manners.
One children’s book that was a
real hit with the preschool
crowd was The Bad Good
Manners Book by Babette Cole.
September is also Be Kind
to Editors and Writers Month.
Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone
who enjoys reading The
Perquimans Weekly took time
to tell Susan what they enjoy
most about our local paper?
September is Library Card
Sign-Up Month. We have
recently been deleting the
records for people who have
not upgraded from the old blue
cards to the new white, com-
puter-scannable cards. If you
are still carrying around a
blue library card, why not
make a point of coming by the
library soon to get your new
white card and see what
changes have taken place
since you were in here last?
We have a few thousand
active library users, but we
serve the entire county. We’d
like to have even more citizens
utilizing our services. A
library card is free. All you
have to do is present a docu
ment, such as your drivers
license, that verifies your cur
rent mailing address. It
couldn’t be much simpler.
Once you havej a card, you
can take advantage of many
services and you might find
yourself in the reading habit
once again. We get new books
each week. Some of the latest
additions are:
• Tell Me Your Dreams by
Sidney Sheldon
• Leaving Small’s Hotel by
Eric Kraft
• No Safe Place by Richard
North Patterson
• Big Girls Don’t Cry by Fay
Weldon
• Dispatches from the Cold
by Leonard Chang
• A Searching Heart by
Janette Oke
• The Da Vinci Deception by
Thomas Swan
• The Cat Who Sang for the
Birds by Lilian Jackson Braun
