spoke up at this meeting, too. Mr..
]. f. Reeve, who is getting quite
famous in this column, detailed
the growth of the library system

the population growth. has been
even faster. Five areas in the
County now served only by mo-
bile units, should have library
buildings.
Wheaton is the area of great
est need. Western Suburban

Reeve said the Board is proposing
building of $500 square feet.
That's bigger than the existing
Bethesda library! Well, if you've
ever joined the subway crush on
the bookmobile, you won't feel
disposed to argue with THAT!
