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.

row ers live outside the city lim its

I he secret of Ford’s nationwide success is
this: it s a new kind of Ford . . . new from the
wheels up . . . more than a last year s model
with a few face lift changes. In a Ford the
chassis, engine anil body are individually engi
neered in to one spacious, rock-solid unit. That’s
why, when you examine the new’ Inner Ford,
you find a ear that's new . . . clear through!
If you re a careful ear-buyer with whom fea
tures count, count the new features of the ’57
Ford. 'I hen drive it! There’s only one conclu
sion: the loveliest, liveliest car in the low-price
field is the completely new Ford. For the
de cisive facts, see your Ford Dealer.
