Library Observes =
Boys, Girls Week

Boy and Girl Week is being observ-
ed throughout the city of Henderson.
The FL. Leslie Perry Memorial Lib
rary is observing the Week with spe-
cial exhibits of books for boys and
books for girls. At the Carolina
Power and Light Company there is a
window with colorful posters and at
tractive books featuring a "Parnas.
sus' or book wagon, arranged by the
staff of the library in observance OF
the week.
The idea of ParnasSuS came from
Christopher Morley's book "Parnassus
on Wheels" One mans love of books
led him to go through the country
side selling books. Today the import
ance of books in the lives of individu-
ais is recognized and the public lib
rary offers them free of charge to
those who wish to read.
On the bookplate in each book at
the III. Leslie Perry Memorial Library
is the motto without a love for
books, the richest man is poor" Boys
and girls may begin reading now to
develop that love of books. Books
may be borrowed free of charge by
residents of Henderson and Vance
county.
