Mil I CITI
Library Meeting
Scheduled Here
Thursday Night t
How do we keep the bookmobile?
This question demands quick action
on the part of all the people in Linn
County, for unless a country library
is approved at the forthcoming spe
cial election, the bookmobile will be
assigned to another county.
If Linn county residents approve
parti.ipation in a library region, the
county will be-studied to determine
the best possible outlets for service.
Would you like a branch library in
Mill City?
Mrs. Mabel Baker, Western Oregon
Extension librarian, will meet with
Mill City residents at the Santiam
Union high school library Tuesday
evening, November 18 at 8 o’clock to
participate in a panel with Virginia
Hoeye, Ronald Ragsdale and Edith
Mason. Time will be reserved for i
general discussion of cooperative li
brary service—the cost of it — the
“why”’ of it—and the “how” of it.
Arrangements for this important
and timely meeting are being made,
through sponsorship of the Worn-!
an’s club of which Mrs. Hoeye is the '
president.
