Marion progress., 1948-05-13

Many school children in the coun-
ty have been asking about the book
mobile during the summer months
when school is closed. They want
to know when and where it will stop
and whether or not Bookmobile Sta
tions in their communities will keep
books for them as we'll as for their
parents. All bookmobile stations will
keep books for children and adults
during the summer months. We will
post schedules in each community in
time for all residents to become
familiar with the summer Bookmo-
bile schedule. The schedule for the
entire county will be given as soon
as plans have been made for each
station and bookmobile stop.
If the Bookmobile is not reaching
you, please let us know your wants
and needs and suggestions for ser
vice in your community before June
Mrs. Leonard Lawing has charge
of Bookmobile collection at Law
ing's Store in the Sugar Hill COM
munity. During the summer months
Mrs. Lawing will check out books
to children and adults, but during
the school months, she will keep
books for adults and pre-school chill
dren only.
We hope that Caroline and Mar
shall Connally will find time for
many library visits during their stay
in Marion. Caroline likes different
kinds of books-"Life Through the
Ages" the picture story of prehis-
toric life; "Charcoal," the story of a
little black sheep; and even "silly
ones that are lots of fun" like "Mc-
Elligot's Pool" Caroline says she
was allowed to borrow five books at
time from the public library in
Florida With our small book col
lection we find it difficult to allow
as many as three per person all year
round.
Last weeks new registrations in
clude Dorothy Annette Burton, Car
oline Connally, Marshall ConnalIy,
Jim Ferguson, Lee R. Pittman, Roy
Poteat and Patricia Shiflet.
