POPULAR AUTHOR MAKES
GIFT TO COUNTY LIBRARY

Harold Bell Wright has made Il
gift of 80 copies of his own books
to the Imperial County Free Library.
Mr.. Wright's books are the ones
most called for i'm the library and 50
great is the demand that it is only
occasionally that one of his books is
to be found on the shelves. The City
and County libraries have already 125
copies of his books, but this number
has been absolutely inadequate to
supply the demand of the city IL
brary and the county branches.
Mr. Wright's popularity is not ON
the wane by any manner of means,
as there is the same demand for his
books as there was in the first days
of publication. Every newcomer
wants to read about the Barbara
Worth country and when this book
has been read then follows the re-
quest for the other books by this au-
thor.
This gift shows the generous spirit
of the author and it will be greatly
appreciated by everyone.
The list below gives the names of
the books and the number of copies
which were donated. These will be
ready for circulation in few days.
