j TBSTABLISHMENT of branch libraries in rural dis-
' -*~i Iricts was a long step forward In providing
equality of library service to urban and rural people,
| and helped to wipe out the discrimination, in the
! matter of accessibility to educational faciliUes, that
for so long ran against many rural sections.
Over in North Carolina they have gone a step
further and made provision for taking the books
directly to the rural people. Each library truck,
laden with a variety of volumes, covers a certain
route, juet as do delivery trucks that distribute other
commodities. The people along the route select the
books they desire to read when the truck pulls up in
front of the house.
The four North Carolina counties that have put
their county libraries on trucks and sent them cir¬
culating on regular schedules along all the roads in
the counties have found an enthusiastic response
from many of the rural people.
The University of North Carolina News Letter de¬
scribes a typical scene along the route of the book
truck. It relates to the Granville county truck. Here
it Is:
"At one stop a porch full of people waited. Sev¬
eral young girls had walked some distance to ex¬
change their books. Three miles further along a
little girl was jumping violently up and down in the
air to attract the attention of the truck driver. At
another flag station a child was standing by the mail
box with her little red wagon, halt full of books,
‘I’ve got to get something for myself, mother and
both the girls. You’ll have to help me,’ she said.
Mrs. Fleming, the librarian, and she both went into
the truck and came out with twelve books and four
magazines. For herself, the little girl had Grimm’s
Tales, King Arthur and His Knights, Hans
Iirinker and some National Geographies.”
The Granville county library has 6000 volumes and
is steadily being increased. The truck makes SOO
miles a month and puts out about 1S00 volumes on
its two bi-monthly trips.
The boob truck in this county is operating on
WPA funds. The service may be only temporary.
What each of the four counties is doing may be con¬
sidered an experiment. Persons everywhere who are

MISS EDGAR IS
* GUEST SPEAKER
OF STUDY CLUB
Miss Elnora Edgar, Harris
county librarian, was speaker at a
guest clay meeting of the Child
Ц
Study club Monday afternoon at :
Baytown Community house. Miss
Edgar, the first of four speakers &|
to be presented by the club at
Ш
guest day programs during the
current season, was introduced by
the president, Mrs. W. N. Peddy-
cord.
Choosing as. her topic “Building
the Child's. Own Library,” Miss i.
cigar gave reviews of three -
ooks, “Roller Skates” by Ituili
Sawyer Durant, "Ring Around,” a
book of poems by Mildred P. Har¬
rington, instructor at Louisiana
State University, and "Billy and
Blaze,” a story of the normal
child.
“The theme for a child’s library”
the speaker said, “should be books
lo grow on — the modern world for
young readers. We should give the
child books worthy to be turned
over to him to live with. Books
should be of the right material for '
building creative imagination;
they should be a part of the heri- ... ■
tage of every child and he should
feel that they are a part of him,”
she continued.
"The physical aspect of the book
should be stressed — good editions
that are easy on the eyes and
more pleasing to the child’s sense — '
of appreciation and evaluation.
Don’t give the child books that
are “sugar coated," that have to
be ‘read down’ to him. Give him
books that evaluate the issues and
problems of today.”
Miss Edgar recommended for
the youngerS child books with re¬
petition and urged parents to
select books that have a direct ap¬
peal to children. She announced
that a list of children’s books will
be available at the local public
library for parents who plan to
give their children books for
Christmas.
Members present at the meet¬
ing were Meedames Peddycord, W.
B. Irons, R. E. Withers, R. L. Car¬
ter, A. Kizler, R. B. Sparks and
E. C. McMaster.
