Library Issues 165 Books In a Day ATKINSON — As many as 165 books per day have been checked out of Atkinson’s small but efficient library, it was re ported Saturday by librarian. Mrs. D. R. Davis. Most of this number was drawn out by children and teenagers. Books are purchase^ mt of (he library fund from se lected lists drawn up by state and national authorities. Once a .car, oftener if convenient, the library is checked by one ot these authorities personally and the board is advised of any changes deemed advisable. The newest addition to the large selection of books is a set of the Encyclopaedia Americana purchased on a monthly pay m nt plan. The National Geo graphic magazine subscription for the library was donated by a citizen of Atkinson. Other magazines are obtainable in the same manner. A fee of d cents is charged for the use of the newest books. A ruial patron may keep a book two weeks for this amount and a city person fox' one week. It may then be renewed, if not a small fine is levied for each li brary day until it is returned. „ This may sound ralher high to some but Atkinson library has no other means of sup port except the very small township lax levy, which amount must supply all ex pense money, which includes rent, librarian's salary, book repairs, etc. There are many hundreds of books that may be obtained by readers with no charge at all. It is only that when a book is purchased seme means must be provided to pay for it. When sufficient numbers of people rave read a new book or alter a reasonable period of time has elapsed it is placed on the free list. Many readers from outside ihe township are helping in this way to build a bigger and better library. There is a budding . fund which is enlarged from time to time by donations from clubs, etc., but this money is left in the building fund and cannot be I used lor any other purposes ex I eept that for which it is intend ed. . ', . ' . ; • • Library, officials explain that they hope some day to have enough money to build or pur chase a small but adequate * building to house what is one of Atkinson’s most important in | vestments.
