Books Set
Area
Library Head Says
Target Date Is
January 2, 1852

Bookmobiles to serve up-County
readers will be ready to roll by
January 2, George P. Moreland,
jr., head of the County Library
System, said this week.
Mr.. Moreland pointed out that
the three big libraries-on-wheels
would be manned by clerk-drivers
and will eventually cover better
than 500 square miles in order to
bring books into County areas
where library service has been non
existent.
Delay Possible
He said the only hitch that could
develop in the plan to get the book
mobiles rolling at the start of 1862
would be failure of contractors to
deliver the vehicles on schedule. At
this time, however, such a posi-
bility is believed to be negligible.
In outlining bookmobile plans,
Mr.. Moreland stated that each of
the rolling libraries will be fitted
out with 2400 books for children
and adults. About 1,400 of these
will be carried solely for children
and 1000 will be for adult con-
sumption. Both fiction and nom
fiction will be brought to readers,
he said.
While plans for Bookmobile
stops are still in the making, Mr..
Moreland told the Sentinel that Wis
iting Libraries are scheduled to WIS.,
it all elementary schools in the
County once a month. Places and
times of other stops will be an
nounced later, he added.
Big Organization Job
In the meantime, the herculean
task of organizing the Library sys-
tenn is under way at the Gathers
burg Library, Mr.. Moreland stated.
The job of buying, preparing and
cataloguing the 10000 volumes
which will represent the County's
initial library presentation is ire
mendous.
He pointed out that last year
District of Columbia libraries
added $1,000 books to shelves.
About $4,000 of these We're dupli-
cate titles upon which much detail
work did not have to be performed.
The balance, or about 10000, were
new titles. To ready these books
for circulation in Washington re-
quired the services of more than 40
employees.
Five on staff
On the other hand, the County
Library Department is preparing
10000 volumes with a staff of five
and the job must be completed by
January l, the Library Department
head stated.
AS interest in the County Lii
bray system grows, however, Mr..
Moreland said phenomenal circula-
ton increases have occurred. All
libraries belonging toVthe County
system report circulation gains of
from 20 to 300 per cent.
In Noyes Library at Kensington,
Mr.. Moreland said, circulation is
up 300 per cent in one year; while
in Wheaton, where the library was
opened in September 1850, circu-
lation has more than doubled and
is still increasing at the rate of 10
per cent a month. One book leaves
the Wheaton library for every two
minutes, it is open, he added.
If the rate of increase at Whea-
ton continues, Mr.. Moreland said,
present facilities and books will

AT Key West High the monitor
system plays a very important
part In school affairs. The mont

contribute to the smooth working
OF our school. They see that the
halls are quiet and that students
are not walking around disturbing
classes. During fire drills they
see that everyone leaves the build
ing and that every window is
shut. Also, the monitors run er-
rands for the office and for teach
ers. They deliver the daily bull
etins to all rooms. They act as
guides for visitors and between
classes they direct traffic through
the nails so that no one gets
hunt. These are lust a few of the
duties OF. the monitors.
Monitors are. selected by the
head of monitors who is appoint

BEAUTIFYING OUR SCHOOL
BY Nancy Brooks

The EValuation Committee,
while visiting our school, recon-
mended that we try to make il
more attractive. There are many
things that could be done to inn
prove the appearance of our
school.
Here are some improvements
suggested by the teachers. and
students. We might keep the
patio cleaner and perhaps pur-
chase a few fish-tail palms to
place in it. We might plant ara
las on the right side of the patio
by the fence. Grass and flowers
should be planted on the grounds
and the front walk should be ex-
tended around the building SC
that pupils will not have to walk
on the grass. The Student Council
is trying to get a parking lot for
the cars and seooters. There
should be more orderly parking
of the bicycles instead of laying
them haphazardly on the ground
Lastly, the generalcondition Of
the rooms can be, improved, They
can be kept heater and perhaps
be made more appealing by hav-
ing more pictures and decora
tons.
These, are. the suggestions o.
teachers and students as I'd how
they would better our school
Let's all support these improve
ments.

Tea will be served by the Library Board and ladies of the two Seward Women's Clubs.
 Women of the Board have worked many hours and days to put the library back into condi- tion, painting of shelves, replac- ing books, cleaning furniture and otherwise decorating the big club room.
 Oldest Remaining Project
 The Seward Community Lii brary is one of the oldest civic projects still in existence in this

The library was started in the b a c m Q n { of the Episcopal Church with about 300 books. After three years, lack of pub lie interest prompted the club women to discontinue the work as a public library, and the col lection was transferred to the school, where 1t remained for several years. The school build ing was at that time on Second Avenue, later remodeled and is now part of the hospital build ing.
