American Literary Collection At Mauney Memorial Library
The American literary heritage extends back to the
beginning of European colonization, and as the new
World declared its independence and developed its
own character, so did its literature acquire a voice and
style of its own which was totally unlike any of the
countries from which it originated. The men and wom-
en who recorded the major intellectual currents and the
dominant schools of thought came from all classes of
society and reflected the diversity and richness of the

met in the laundry rooms and com-

"We were trying to upgrade
skills and teach (these women)
how to get jobs and keep them,"
said Joyce, "Two of our graduates
from these early beginnings are
now teachers with the public
schools."
Of course, men eventually
joined the HRD classes. One,
Gerald Long, is now a research
chemist and returned to Gaston
College last November as speaker
in the first-ever GED (General
Education Development) gradua-
tion ceremony.
One hundred and thirty-four
GED graduates--both young and
old--participated in that ceremony.
Afterwards, proud parents, sons,
daughters and grandchildren
heaped congratulations on the
graduates.
For Joyce Dale, this is part of
what HRD's all about. "What make
HRD so exciting is that we get to
see people's lives change after they
find our how special they are," she
said.
This year marks the 20th an-
niversary of HRD in North

Thanks to the generosity of the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation and the North Carolina Humanities
Council, this series is available to the smaller libraries
with limited funding. The Mauney Library is now one
more than 2,000 across the country to acquire this im-
portant collection. By pledging $250.00 of its book
money, the library received a matching grant from the
North Carolina Humanities Council and a $500.00
grant from the Mellon Foundation. We have already
received the first 20 volumes of the series, and will re-
ceive the remaining volumes in regular shipments over
the next four years until the series is complete.
The Library of America is a nonprofit publishing
program that began in 1982 as an unprecedented effort
to restore America's literary heritage by publishing the -
collected works of major authors in a uniform hard-
cover series. See money for the program was provided
by the National Endowment for the Humanities and
the Ford Foundation. Volumes already published in-
clude the works of Henry Adams, Willa Cather, James
Melville, Frank Norris, Francis Parkman, Edgar Allen
Poe, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry David Thoreau,
Mark Twain, Edity Wharton, and Walt Whitman.
Each volume in the series includes a number of
works by a single author and contains between 1,000
and 1,600 pages. In many cases, an author's complete
writings will be published in as few as three of four co
pact volumes. The books are printed on acid-free pa-
per, have sewn bindings covered in cloth, and are ex-
tremely durable. Texts are accurate, unabridged and
authoritative.
The Library of America volumes are sold through
bookstores at a cost of $27.50 to $35.00 per volume,
and by subscription at a cost of $21.95 per volume. All
volumes in the series include a detailed chronology of
the author's life and career, a brief essay explaining the
choice of texts and some useful notes for the general
reader.
community colleges across the
state.
The program's objective is to re-
duce welfare payments, unemploy-
ment and underemployment by
making it possible for those unem-
ployed to become and remain pro-
ductive employees.
But according to Joyce, HRD is
more than GED's and job place-
ment. HRD instructors develop
self-confidence, positive attitudes,
and communication skills.
Ninety-five percent of those who
take advantage of HRD at Gaston
are high school dropouts. Many of
these students who complete the
GED go on to enroll at Gaston
College for further education.

There's something you need to remember. From now on, when you
make long distance calls within the 704 area, dial 0 or 1 + 704 and
then the number you're calling.
North Carolina's tremendous growth has created a shortage of
telephone numbers. By dialing the area code on every long distance
call, numbers are freed up for new businesses and residential
customers.
So remember, when you dial long distance, be sure to use the
appropriate area code. And if you have a 704 long distance number
on any programmed services, like Speed Dialing, Call Forwarding,
or even a FAX machine, now’s the time to reprogram them.
