PAY SHELF A T LIBRARY WILL BRING NEW BOOKS NEW MEN, NEW E DIRT F L Ï For the purpose of bringing the latest in books to patrons of the Nyssa library, the board has estab lished a pay shelf. Books on this shelf will rent at the rate of ten cents per week until they are paid for. Then they will be transferred into the regular library and other new ones will be puchased for the pay shelf. In this way, it will be possible for the library to add many new volumes. Now that winter days are here. Mrs. Fred Marshall, librarian, ex pects a substantial increase in cir culation. particularly among farm folk who are proving to be the best readers. She reminds patrons that the library is open Saturday after noon and evening at the Owyhee District building.
