Books As Living Memorials

Ordinary people who could
never afford to give buildings,
scholarships, or endowmentS as
memorials have discovered that
anyone can give a book to the
library. It far outlaStS "the
frail duration of a flower" and
brings pleasure to the whole
community.
Books selected as memorials
should be chosen in conSulta-
ton with the librarian. In this
way no duplicates will be placed
in the library, as one OF the
purposes is to present some
thing not already in the libr-
airy, thus making it more use
full. They usually, although not
necessarily, relate in some way
to the interest of one being
honored. Purchase is made
through library sources, giving
the donor the advantage OF
library discounts
A Memorial book plate Is
placed in each book, stating
the name of the honoree and
the individual or group making
the gift. A memorial loose leaf
note book is kept as a perman
ent record of those honored,
the donor and the titles OF the
books.
After a short exhibit period.
the books will be shelved with
the regular collection. EXper-
fence has shown that the use
end usefulness of memorial
books is much greater when
they become an integral part
of the library's entire collec-
ton, than when kept separate.
With open shelf privileges i'll
libraries, patrons are accus-
toned to look for books by
subjects and are grateful to
find everything on a certain
subject in one location.
Memorial books will increase
the library's usefulness in the
community by adding good, new
books to the shelves that 1t
can't afford to purchase, due
to lack of funds in the book
budget. and also honor and
perpetuate the names of cit
liens.
A Memorial collection has
been started in Big Horn Coun-
ty library and several books
Rave already been presented.
The Order of DeMolay have
also started a memorial shelf
tn honor the memory of Thomas
James Louk. Edwin Jacobsen,
a member of the order, made
plaque which is placed Oh
top of the section reserved for
their collection. This section
was selected by the boys.
The following books have
been presented to the library
as Memorial gifts:
