Webber. Mrs. Webber will speak at the Josephine E. Weir Auditorium at mauney Library Thursday, Feb. 23 at 6:30 p.m. Following the pro- gram, the Friends of the Library will serve refreshments. Mrs. Webber recently completed a novel entitled "Martha Wilson." Set in the present time, "Martha Wilson" tells the story of a specific black family, but the themes are universal and deal with family, love, aging, and coping with the problems of life. Mrs. Webbr has already begun her second novel which is set back in the 19th centu- ry with historical background. Mrs. Webber will not only talk about her writing and her experi- ences, but will also recognize black leaders in our community and point out the importance of their work. She points out that black people occupy significant positions in the life of the community which pro- mote the general welfare. In conjunction with Mrs. Webber's speech in celebration of Black History Month, the librarian will talk briefly about a new col- lection of books which will be dis- played on tables in the auditorium. The books were purchased through a special LSCA grant received from the State Library for the pur- pose of enriching the collection of black history books and materials so as to provide more adequate in- formation to our Afro-American citizens. The collection includes not only books on history and cul- ture, but also practical information on health and beauty, social life and custom, as well as children's books, biographies and poetry. The library must maintain a well-balanced collection of Afro- American materials including the classics as well as current titles, so that it can be a source of inspira- tion and assist black people to overcome obstacles, to climb the ladder of success, and to attain a more fulfilling life. Carl Rowan, a . black newspaper columnist and au- thor of a biography of U.S. Navy Ensign Roderick L. Boyce, son of Janice S. and John Eury of Kings Mountain, recently completded the Officer Indoctrination School at Naval Education and Training Center, Black history program at library ROSE TURNER ® KM Librarian Marshall entitled, "Dream Maker, Dream Breaker," believes libraries can play a powerful role in the black community. He says, "The li- brary is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in human history. A black person who wants to be liberated first needs to get learning. If he does it will make him a formidable force against a would- be aggressor." John Hope Franklin, one of the country's most distinguished histo- rians and author of the classic "From Slavery to Freedom," laments the funding of new jails while the public library is losing support. He says, "That money should be spent on libraries and other educational institutions to help get kids off the street and away from potential trouble, and to give them a choice for the future. America is heading for real disaster if it doesn't begin to change its pri- orities and rectify some of the seri- ous defects in our society." Civil rights leader and Georgia "Congressman John Lewis says, "For many black kids, libraries can offer a haven from the danger of the street, and even a way out. They can plant the seeds of knowl- edge that can suggest another road to life." In order for the library to be- come the cornerstone of the com- munity it must serve all segments of the population. With our pro- gram celebrating Black History Month, and our new collection of books on black history and culture, we are reaching out to the Afro- Americans in our community to provide educational, informational, and cultural materials which will enrich their lives and motivate them to greater achievement.
