Marion progress., 1949-10-06

"You'd better just give me one
mystery for my daddy. Mothers
got some cabinets she wants him to
paint" advised one of our young
readers, who was helping me select
books for her family
In spite of the many demands of
school, community, and home, most
of our library members are finding
time for reading. Over five thous-
and books were borrowed from the
library in Marion during August.
Last month the circulation was over
three thousand, a thousand more
than in September of 1948.
Four hundred and thirty-six new
members were registered at the IL
brary in Marion during the summer
months. Of this number, one hun
dred and ninety-eight were resi-
dents of the Clinchfield community.
The residents of Clinchfield used
the library more than any other
community near Marion. Ninety-six
adults and two hundred and thirty
eight children who are residents of
Clinchfield are registered members
of the library. Although the book
mobile serves the school during the
school term, many of the children
at Clinchfield come to the library
in Marion all year round.
Last weeks bookmobile trips to
the schools were interesting ones.
Both teachers and pupils were glad
to have their bookmobile begin it's
regular monthly visits. Almost
every teacher at Pleasant Gardens
School, Clinchfield School, and
East Marion School selected books
for their pupils to supplement their
homeroom collections. Many of the
young people had special requests
they wanted us to fill for them.

Cadell-Readers who enjoyed the
authors book "Gay Pursuit" will
! like her new book. The setting is
the title town of High Ambo, in
England. 1t is winter, and Caroline
West, one of those very human, pla- !
cid people, who never gets excited
and does try to keep her mind on
things, has gone there to escape her
late husbands relatives, and is i'm
mediately put upon.
"The D. A. Breaks An Egg" by
Erie Stanley Gardner Detective
story.
"The Queen Bee" by Edna Lee
erich Beautiful, unscrupulous in
her manipulation of all those about
her, Eve Avery is a typical Ameri- :
can "Queen Bee", who dominates
and destroys her husband and fam
lily. Against background of At I
lanta country-club life, with deft
skill the author Of 'The Web of
Days" dissects this modern wife and
mother, whose Pilgrim dresses, Lily
Dache hats, and sleekly manicured
charm only partially hide her empti-
ness and cruelty"
