Library Board

Continued from first page)
pecially throughout the county only
one member of family usually
withdraws books for several others
within the same family. In 1948-49
there were $50 new members reg
istered. The total number of books
circulated to Mcdowell County
Schools was 12,875 last year. So
one can readily understand the vital
part the library is playing toward
enriching the children's classroom
work and reading in general.
The Trustees were impressed
with the fact that year after year
there is a general increase in the
number of non-fiction books being
withdrawn, not only among adults
but by the juvenile readers as we'll.
Also, they noted that the librarian
is rendering a real service in refer
ence work. She answered over 500
reference questions last year over
the telephone, by mail and by spec
ial request at headquarters. Special
titles of books requested are re-
served of if they are not in stock,
she usually able to obtain them
from other sources. During the
past year there were 474 titles re-
served by special request. The SER
vice rendered by the Bookmobile is
eagerly received by the county pa
irons, it circulated over $4,000
books last year. 1t makes monthly
trips to 81 branches, stations and
roadside stops.
A significant and almost distress
sing fact which the Trustees have
to face is that the demand for good
reading in Mcdowell county so far
exceeds the library income for the
purchase of books and library ser
vice in general. The entire collec-
ton numbers only 11,773 volumes
and when ones attention is called
to the fact that this number of
books was circulated 68,963 times
last year, one can easily realize
what the collections turnover is
and what wear the books receive.
Only by real efficiency could Ii
brary put so few books to such max
imum use. However, the Board of
Trustees feels that library service
in Mcdowell county is going for
ward, that it is playing much
needed and a much wanted part in
is cultural development and so,
hey are encouraged in their efforts
% expand it's influence.
For several years the library had
accepted carefully selected books
which patrons have requested be
,iven as memorials. The group ap-
proved a suggested plan for such
| Memorial Shelf, the details of
which will be more fully explained
% the public in the near future.
