Books Donated

child, has been donated by Pan-
sy Hand. The chief characters
in this book are two children
called Betty and Bobby, a
monkey by the name of Jo-Jo,
and two little bears, Frisky and
Tubby. Tucked away in the
stories of these characters are
interesting adventures in num-
ber work, especially adapted to
the first grade level. We urge
all children of the first grade
age who have not read this book
to do so at their earliest con-
venience.

Mrs. Jean Williams has
donated abook entitled "For
My Great Folly," by Thomas B.
Costain. Those readers who en-
joy Costain's books will want
to read this latest donation of
Mrs. Williams.—"For My
Great Folly."

Betty Scarce has given to the
library two very attractive
books. The first of these is "A
Twin Book," made up of the
titles "In Mother Goose Land"
and "In Animal Land." Being
composed largely of pictures,
this book is especially good for
the pre-school child. The other
book donated by Betty bears
the title "Children of Lap-
land," and carries factual ma-
terial regarding children of the
far North.

A mystery story, "Appoint-
ment With Death," by Agatha
Christie has been donated by
Jessie Clyde Poole. Since many
readers ask for books by Chris-
tie, it is believed that this dona-
tion will be a welcomed addi-
tion to the library collection.

Freida Thornton has given to
the liabrary a copy of "Into the
Valley" by John Hersey. This
story tells of a skirmish of the
marines, and will be enjoyed by
all those who are looking for a
book of danger and adventure.

LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

The third grade of the local
school recently came in a group
to visit the Slater Library.
While in the library, the chil-
dren enjoyed the juvenile books
and magazines, after which
their teacher and the librarian
told them some interesting
things about the library. Al-
though some of the children
composing this group live in
Slater and belong to the library
clubs, many of the others had
never had an opportunity to
visit our library. While on their
"tour, those children who live
on a rural route and had never
visited a post office stopped at
the local post office to learn
some interesting things such as
the procedure used in mailing
letters and packages. The trip
was climaxed by a stop at the
cafe, where everyone had a cone
of ice cream.

We wish to congratulate Mrs.
Elizabeth McDaniel, teacher of
this group, for the fine oppor-
tunity which she offered her
pupils by making this trip to
the library, post office, and cafe
possible. We were delighted to
have Mrs. McDaniel and her
pupils visit us, and invite them
to come back at their earliest
convenience.
____________
New library members are
again in the news, and the first
to be mentioned is Miss Mar-
garet Coleman, first grade
teacher in the local school. We
are happy that the library is
able to supply some supplemen-
tary reading materials for use
in Miss Coleman's classroom,
and we compliment her on the
fine work which she is doing
with her reading classes.

Children who have recently
become library members are:
Laura Lee Bruce, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Rance Bruce; and
Joan Waldrop, little daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Alving Waldrop.
_____________
New books for children are
constantly being added to the
library collection. All the
"kiddies" are invited to come
in and read them.
________________
Those in the community who
enjoy photography as a hobby
will be glad to learn that a
magazine called "U.S. Camera"
has been ordered. The sub-
scription will become effective
immediately, and copies of this
periodical should begin arriving
at the library in the near fu-
ture.
