books contained in those private
libraries could be reconverted in-
tautheir original cost. Such, of
course, would be impractical, but
we bring Jt'up merely to show
that the people of Garza County
do realize arid appreciate the
value, of .fre.cv books and that a
7r^~put>Ticlibrary would be a"
cultural asset, as well as a use-
ful bne.
The county already has been'
promised a big stock of. books
from the. state if it goes along
with Texas State. Library's pro-
posal for a county library. In
addition, many" of the books in
private libraries here more than
likely would be donated to help
fjil the shelves. -
It appears to us—in view of
the original coat - "and yeai -fay
year expense quoted the county
by state library officials—that
the.county is denying its citi-
zens a distinct cultural advan-
tage by not availing itself of the
opportunity of establishing ami
maintaining a county library.
