LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

"Books are keys to wisdom's
treasure;
Books are gates to lands of
treasure;
Books are paths that upward
lead;
Books are friends. Come let us
read."

During 1954, the librarian
wishes to dedicate the library
column to the ADULTS of
Slater, since the Children's
reading is largely taken care
of through their library clubs.
This column will keep
ADULTS posted on some of the
more outstanding books in the
Library, but one must always
remember that there are many
good books which will not find
their way into this column,
since it would not be possible
to review every book in the
Library during the course of
the year. For that reason, you
will want to visit the Library
regularly, so that you can se-
lect for yourself the books that
will mean most to you.

As a special service, the li-
brarian keeps a list of all books
specifically requested, and these
are obtained from the Green-
ville Library at the earliest pos-
sible date. It is hoped that
everyone will feel free to avail
himself of this special service,
so that the Library will be able
to adequately meet the par-
ticular reading needs of each
individual.

In urging everyone to use the
library more freely, the follow-
ing quotation comes to mind:
"Knowledge is of two kinds:
We know the subject ourselves,
or we know where we can find
information upon it." In our
community, the Library is the
place where one can find some
material on practically any
subject, and the librarian
stands ready to assist.

"Our battle of production
will end only with the defeat of
Japan."— Under Secretary of
the Navy Ralph A. Bard.
