A meeting of the executive commit tee of the Pine Bluff Library associa ton was held yesterday afternoon, at which the members displayed the greatest interest in the manner in which the library is answering the heavy demand for books and current literature.

 In her report for the month of Sep tember, Mrs. D. C. Wilcox, librarian, said:
 "To the members of the Executive Committees:
 When we consider that school began on September 17th, thus cutting down the number of juvenile readers, and that many of the library patrons are regular attendants at the taberna- cle services. we find the circulation ve.~ gratifying. having issued 1,16o books.
 "We have been able to supply the high school pupils with many of the books on parallel reading, some of those in constant demand are Silas Marncr.' by George Elliott Kidnapped. Treasure Isle Washington Trving's Sketch Book. etc.
 "The interest in the reading table continues undiminished, and many out of town visitors as well as local people avail themselves of the 'privil eges. finding that the reading matter here is more varied than that to be found elsewhere.
 Bundles of magazines, and the cur rent literature. are being sent to seven rural districts in Jefferson county.
