WHY NOT HAVE A
PUBLIC LIBRARY
IN RANKIN COUNTY?

The article below appeared in
last weeks issue of The Progress
siye Farmer, and it appeals to us
as good one. However, if the
State Of Mississippi will not pass
| the county library law, lets get
busy and establish a public libra
ry TO tribe county, as we'll as the
city of Brandon. There are enough
people in the county, who would
, be willing to support such a move
ment, and it would be a great
help and advantage to everyone
residing within the limits Of Ran
kin County. Why not get busv?
The article follows:
That the county library is grow
Ing in favor is evidenced by the
large number of states that have
adopted county library law. I'm
der such a law the county is made
the unit for library service and
the voters have the privilege of
voting to establish such a library
to serve the entire county. The
county library means good books
Tor all at small cost to anyone.
This IS better than depending up
ca collection Of books to be- sent
frcm the state capital to all parts
OF the state at long intervals. In
stead OF having one agency to
serve the whole state there would
be as many agencies as there were
counties tha, had established
county libraries. 1t is a mistaken
idea that individuals should have
TO buy their own books to read
We might as we'll say that the
state ought not to educate. Some
one has well said hat it is almost
criminal to teach the child to
read and then not provide him
with wholesome books to read.
Through cooperation we are
able to do many things better and
more cheaply than when acting
alone. The public library is an ex-
ample of successful operation.
The states that have the best pub
lie library facilities for their peo-
pie are the states that are show
ing the most rapid educational
and economic development. In In
diana there are only six towns or
cities of $500 or more population
without public Libraries. There
arc 204 unsupported, 8 associa-
tions and sc school and institu-
tion libraries. Two-thirds of all
Libraries in. Indiana are in towns
of less than 5000 population. AT
ter years of library progress, In
diana has adopted a county libra
ry law as the best plan for reach
ing all the people with books.
The county library is truly ahe
university of the people in which
the old and young may read for
enjoyment and for profit. The
county library reaches the people
through branch libraries estab-
lished in the schools, villages,
towrs, post Offices. country stores
and often by book-truck carrying
the books to the homes through
out the county.
With one library serving the
entire county the cost to anyone
would be mere trifle and the re-
suit would be better homes, more
