trustees planned at meeting Tues

from October 18th to 18th inclusive,
which will also include a drive for
donations of one book from each
home in town and county, where 1t is
possible for people TO spare BOOK
that they have read and do not care
to preserve-or would prefer to have
others profit by reading the book
rather than have II hibernate in their
home.
The tags will be 25c each. but
there is no limit on the number Of
tags that one individual may buy. 1t
is the intention of the trustees to
have the tags handled by people at
the head of various organizations.
The donations of books especially
is desired as IL has not been possible
to purchase new books this year. and
it is important to keep adding new
books to the library continually in
order to attain the best results for
he community.
Any one who can donate a book to
the library should take 1t to Mrs.
Nell Price. librarian. or notify her
so the book can be secured. Tags
may also be secured at the library.
The trustees hope the people will
respond literally in this drive,
though IL is not intended to annoy
any one in urging the purchase OF
