Funds for Books
Sought by Library
At Jacksonville
Jacksonville . Contributions i
for a fund to purchase up-to-date
fiction and non-fiction books for
rental at the Jacksonville li
brary are being son 'lit by Betty
Boeglin, librarian. She believes
organizations and individuals in
Jacksonville as well as other
parts of the valley, if informed
of the need, will be willing to
contribute.
Once the rental library is set
up it should be self-supporting
from fees, she said. The books,
when they have paid for them
selves, will be put on the regu
lar shelves and the rental money
wiy be invested in more new
bocks for the rental department,
the librarian pointed out. New
books also will be acceptable for
the new department.
Have $25 Yearly
The Jacksonville city council
has allotted $25 a year for new
books for children, Miss Boeglin
said. There is a lack of chil
dren's books and a high demand,
a great many children being dis
appointed to find they have read
all the available books, she,
added.
Library hours are 1:30 to 5:30
p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays.
Contributions may be made at
the library during those hours
or by writing the Jacksonville
Library, U. S. hotel.
