LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

We would like to commend
our readers for the fine book
circulation maintained during
the month of January. The
record was good every week of
the month, but we are especial-
ly proud of the circulation for
the week ending January 11,
since 204 books were issued.
Keep up the good work! We
are always happy to see you
use the materials available at
the library.
__________
Water colors and modelling
clay have been purchased as
working materials for the chil-
dren who attend library clubs.
These materials will be used in
connection with the various
units of work in which the chil-
dren participate. At present,
work is being concentrated on
an Eskimo unit.
___________
We are sorry that Paula Ruth
Fowler has moved to Charles-
ton, making it impossible for
her to be at Story Hour each
Thursday p.m. However, we
enjoyed having her with us for
the past several months, and
hope that she will find another
Story Hour near her new home
in Charleston.
_________
Mr. and Mrs. George Turner
and Nancy Ann, of Columbia,
were recent visitors at the li-
brary. The Turner family
moved to Columbia last fall so
that Mr. Turner could attend
the University of South Caro-
lina. While in Slater, Nancy
Ann was a member of the Fri-
day p.m. Story Hour group,
and both Mr. and Mrs. Turner
visited the library quite often
to secure books and magazines.
We are happy to learn that the
Turners have already affiliated
themselves with a library in Co-
lumbia.
__________
A number of new members
have recently been added to the
library roll.

The first of these is Mrs. Eliz-
abeth McDaniel, teacher in the
local school. We welcome Mrs.
McDaniel, and hope that the
library will not only serve her,
but that her pupils will also de-
rive benefit from her member-
ship.

Mr. Hoke Harrill is another
one of our new members. He
is a veteran of World War II,
and is employed in the Weaving
Department of our plant.

The following Slater children
are new library members: Gene
Henson, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
C. Henson; Harriet and Annette
Freeman, daughters of Mr. and
Mrs. Dillard Freeman; Patsy
and Gaile Hogan, daughters of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Hogan;
and Shelby Jean Conner,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. M.
Conner. From Marietta, we
welcome Jimmy Buchanan, son
of Mrs. Nora Buchanan.
__________
The Friday p.m. Story Hour
group had a visitor recently—
Roger Couch Groome, nephew
of Mr. and Mrs. Roger W.
Couch, Jr. of Slater. We were
happy to have this little visitor,
and hope he will come to
see us again soon.
