LIBRARY NEWS
Books are powerful friends.
They can inspire, console, teach,
or amuse us. The Woman’s Club
of Roanoke Rapids possesses a
small collection of well - chosen
books which have a potentila pow
er other than those mentioned
above: They may be the mucleus
of a municipal library. This, of
course, depends upon the wishes
of the citizens of our town.
This little lending library was
established for the enjoyment of
the members of the Woman’s Club
and their families. Because they
wished other members of the
community to use and enjoy them
the members of the club voted to
lend them to anyone willing to
pay a fee of one dollar per year,
this fee to be used for the pur -
chase of new books for the col
lection. As yet, there are few
who are taking advantage of this
privilege, due, perhaps, to the
fact that it is not generally
known.
To those who enjoy reading for
both cultural profit and pleasure
this small library offers the best
collection of books by recognized
authors in town. This collection
will grow through usage; and for
that reason, as one of its most
grateful readers, I should like to
add my appeal to the book-lovers
of our town who have not heard
of the Woman’s Club lending Li
brary; join this library club, en
joy these leisure hours which the
depression forces you to spend in
expensively, and in so doing, help
to make possible the dream of
those women who have made this
beginning—a municipal library
supplying our citizens with books
for reference, books of travel, bio'
graphics, novels, current maga
zines and newspapers. It is their
dream that Roanoke Rapids will
not allow its material growth to
exceed its cultural development,
which is, after all, the highest ideal
of every good citizen.
