LINCOLN, March 6.-(Speclal.l-The Ne
braska Public Library commission has de-
cided that only those communities which
contribute to the book fund may be desis-
mated as permanent travelling library sta
ions. Under this ruling. osceola becomes
the FIRST station, the woman's club of hat
city having donated funds sufficient for one
collection OF books. Outlining the PLAN
Miss Edna Bullock. secretary Of the som
mission, said:
The number Of applicants for travelling
libraries on the waiting list at the once
Of the commission is so great that the leg
isIatiye appropriation Is entirely inaoe-
quate to the demand. and the commission
has adopted the policy Of making such COM
munities as contribute money or BOOKS TOT
one travelling library permanent stations
for a period Of years equal to the lie OF a
travelling library. The travelling libraries
contain forty volumes and the average cost
Of the books is 81 per volume.
THE Woman's club of Osceola recently
aecured the loan Of a travelling library,
which was placed in q drug store. The
books have been very popular and within
two weeks after the arrival the women
were able to raise enough money to buy q
travelling library. They have notined the
secretary OF the commission to select ano
order the books and send the bill 10 tnem'
The people Of osceola will thus have a sue
cession Of travelling Libraries for a period Of
ave years"
