Thursday, January 24, 1957 Library Books are Not All Fiction A local lady was searching for a not common book dealing w ith a certain decorative shrub. Upon inquiring as to w here it m ight be bought, she was advised to look in the local library, lh e very b o o k she and her husband w ere yearn ing for, and which would have cost them money, wa right there on the shelves and she borrow ed it, along w ith some others about flow er culture, at no cost to them- To contradict possible belief th at your local library contains nothing but fanciful fiction and childrens’ books, there is a very large portion of the shelf space devoted to non fiction and educa tional volumes all of which are available to you to take home and study or refer to in the library. Should you be a carpenter or one who aspires to a bit of work w ith wood, am ong other helpful volumes especially for the profes sional, is Townsend's, ‘ The Steel S quare”, Very few builders are fam iliar w ith this most common tool of their craft. T here are sev eral other volumes dealing w ith the use of wood, including one telling about boat building. Or, should you be interested in a ir craft, there are books about them. Baseball may lx* your hobby and you’ll find enough dope on this and other sports to keep you busy. The cluster of books on photo graphy may help w ith your pic ture problem s but if it is rocks you are interested in, there is a flock of them dealing w ith that. P erhaps your interests lie in plants, both field and floral. If so, nam e your interest and chances are excellent you may add to it from the library shelves. T here is even a thick volum e devoted en tirely to the grasses. Most of these books have been given to the library by individuals They have had them about the house and realizing that others m ight like to have access to them, have consulted the library and m ade them available so everyone can have the use of them. Several of them are either hard to obtain or would be too expensive for the individual to buy. Should you have volumes of this n atu re you no longer fre quently use, you m ight consider this disposition of them. A dditions of m ore books are partly through m em berships in the L ibrary Association and p a rt ly through a q uite small sum brought in through rentals of cer tain books and fines for keeping books out too long. M em bership in the association is far less than the price of any book you m ight w ant to use w hich is on the shelves, mostly m ade available to you through the thoughfulnwss of others. F unds for the cost of operating the library come from the tax payers of the City of Brookings No salary is paid the librarian from city funds.
