Library Buys New Books

Approximately 80 books were
added to the local library shelves
during the past week, according to
Mrs. Mary Jane Kinzer, director
of adult education for the town.
Most of the books are of the stand
ard library type and were pur-
chased at an advanced sale.
The possibility of beginning
rental shelf for popular fiction
at the rate of two cents a day is
being considered. The education
department feels that the present
facilities are not sufficient for per-
sons in the community who read
a great deal of current fiction.
Collections from such a shelf could
be used for the purchase of more
children's books, which are re-
ported to be badly needed, as well
as for additions to the reference
and non-fction shelves.
