April is here and that’s no
joke,
Bring in your books before
we croak.
Too many are overdue as you
can see,
We’ll make you happy by not
charging a fee.
Do you have any overdue lib
rary books hanging around the
house or lurking in the car?
Now is the time to bring them
in to the Newberry-Saluda Re
gional Library. During the
month of April there will be no
fines charged and no questions
asked at the libraries in New
berry, Whitmire, Saluda, and
Ridge Spring.
This month long absence of
fines is being held during the
month of April both as part of
the observation of National Li
brary (Week, April 17-23, and
as an effort to recover many
books that are needed and be
ing requested by other library
users. Everyone is urged to take
advantage of this. Save money;
J. M. Weaks, 75, died Wed
