was canvassing for new members,
free lectures, beauty baby shows, mat
inee musicals, old papers collected
for sale-it was a busy committee
keeping the library alive until it had
gained the confidence of the public
This was no mushroom GROWTH but a
plant that was eventually to flower
into that great public need-a library.
However, at the end of a year and
half we find the library emerging
with almost every department to be
found in any well regulated and prop
erly supported library.
There is a story hour, and the at
tendance would do credit to a library
many times the size. In the We'll
Memorial room is one of the best re-
ference collections in the state The
books along the line of pedagogy,
used as required reading for the tech
ers of Arkansas, have Eeen placed on
the shelves this fall. The latest fic-
ton is ordered month by month. In
every way the library seeks to CO.
operate with the public, whether re-
creation and amusement is sought, or
more serious work is desired.
Books, and yet more books, have
been donated; magazine and magazine
subscriptions have been given. The
chamber of commerce has opened it's
doors and given the library it's tenn
porary home. The philosophical men
of the town, those who accomplish
big things, are beginning to extend
helping hands. The past year and
half has been wonderfully successful
for the library cause IN Pine Bluff;
