A Dozen or More Left Out
This list in the book Of the state
historical department does not in
clude all the authors whose books
are in the Keokuk writer's section Of
the Keollul1 public library.
There are at least dozen real
authors with important books to
their credit, belonging to Keokuk,
who are neither in the state histor-
ical list nor in the Keokuk library
shelves.
No additions have been made to
the Keol1uk library collection Of
books by Keokuk authors for several
years, and it was never completed
in fact, only fairly started, when
changes in the board of trustees
caused 1t to be slowed down to an
imperceptible pace. There is chance
for some work worth while tos be
done in that direction by the library
trustees-but it is real work, as Miss
MARBLE, Of the state department, or
anybody else who has tried it, can
testify.
