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.
