FEATURES FOR LIBRARY
IN MANTEO ANNOUNCED

Beginning the first week in
June, the Dare County Library
will conduct two storyhours, Mrs.
Jean T. Ward, Librarian reports.
On Tuesdays at 1000 am, chill
dren from S to z will meet with
Mrs. L. L. Gibbs, Assistant Lii
brarian. On Thursdays at 1870
PM, the 8 to IL group, which at
tended story hour all winter, will
continue with Miss Overcast.
Since membership in the young
er group will be limited to Is chill
dren, parents eager for this serv-
ice should telephone or visit the
library at the earliest opportunity
to enroll their children.
For the pre-schooler especially,
the story hour is of inestimable
value in preparing the child for
school. Often it is his first social
experience outside the home. He
learns to play with other children
and to adjust to them; he grows
in self-expression; he widens, his
interests; and he learns to love
books. All of this contributes to-
ward reading readiness and to an
easy transition to school life.
