Mountville Grange Has IheOldim&i Program About Library TIP While you can purchase readymade blackboards, you can make one at home from a piece of hardboard by ap plying blacK or green chalk board surfacing to it. Most hardware stores, paint dealers and lumber yards carry the surfacing material A covered dish supper was held at the Mountville Grange on Jan. 15th with Mrs. B. P. Watts and Mr. and Mrs. John Simmons as host and hostesses. The Lecturer’s hour was in charge of Mrs. John M. Hud gens Jr. She introduced the guest speakers, Mrs. Margaret Haynes, children’s librarian and Miss Elaine Martin, Bookmobile Director. Mrs. Haynes traced the history of the Laurens County Library from its start in September 1930, in one room on the second floor of the Laurens City Hall to the newly enlarged and renovated building which held Open House on Feb. 16, 1964. The Library today has a col lection of 54,708 books, both fic tion and non-fiction on almost any subject you could name and if they cannot supply you with the required information, they can usually get it from the State Interlibrary Loan. Each month the library re ceives a total of 100 periodi cals, all of which are concerned with one major subject or field that would interest both men and women. Every Thursday afternoon dur ing the school term they have a pre-school story hour for child ren ages four to six years. Here they have stories, picture books, supplemented with visual aids, records and play activities. Every Friday afternoon the li brary features an educational film at 3:30 in the civic room. Miss Elaine Martin told of the bookmobile which gives county wide service throughout the coun ty twice a month. Three kinder gartens and six schools are in cluded in this area. Circulation for the bookmobile last year was 29,537 books and periodicals. In Clinton they have a Child ren’s and Young People’s branch library located on the second floor of Presbyterian College Li brary buulding. This is open five afternoons a week and on Satur day morning. This provides books f<>r the juvenile readers in the im mediate Clinton area. The Grange members and their guests were pleasantly surprized at the number and variety of books as they toured the new thoroughly modern Bookmobile. .<,/ “Try not to think of fffe as a back-seat driver, dear.
