Parents are urged to bring and pick their children up on time. Telling and reading these stories to the children will be various talented Newberrians. Anyone who would like to vol unteer for a Saturday story ses sion is asked to contact the lib rarian, Miss Verna Kohn. In talking to Miss Kohn, she said, “I wonder if our people are aware of all the services the library offers? For instance, I suspect that not many know that on Tuesday evening, the library is open until 9 p.m. I suppose everyone is familiar with our hours: 9 to 6 daily, 9 to 4 Saturday. “Also, the public might like to know that we take 103 maga zines, just about every topic one can imagine: from anti ques, hobbies, mechanics, wild life, history—in other words, name it, we’ve got it. “Another service that may not be familiar to everyone is the State Library Loan system. Almost any non-fiction book which our library doesn’t have can be had from the Columbia library in a matter of two or three days. All you have to do is make a request, either by phone or in person to us. ‘This may interest the teen agers,” Miss Kohn said. “We have some rather neat records, including The Jefferson Air planes, Hank Williams, Eddie Arnold, Mancini, Nero—just to name a few. We’re always avail able to answer any telephone reference questions. We circul ate back issues of all maga zines. And we’d love any dona tions of books, records and pap erbacks.” SECOND SESSION SUMMER SCHOOL Summer school students at Newberry College took their fin al examinations for the first term on Tuesday and Wednes day of this week.
