Library Sets Up
Memorial Plan
for Book Gifts
The library' tioard is otficially
announcing this week the intro-
duction of "memorial books" in
the county libraries. In the Jan-
uary meeting of the library
group, Mrs. Don Anderson was
appointed to head a committee
in cbarge of the plan. Working
with her on the committee are
Mrs. Norman Ueed, Ralls, and
Mrs. A. L. Zumbrun of Lorenzo.
Books may be donated to any
of the three libraries in the
county to commemorate some-
one living, or a book may lie
added ID the library shelf as a
memorial to someone deceased-
It is rei-ommended by tlfc
board that the price of the bocac
be given the library rattier than
purchasing a book personally in
order that some titles will not
be duplicated. It is possible that
the donor might check at the
library or witn Mrs. Anderson
about a particular book for the
memorial.
The Crosby county library or-
ders books at a sizeable dis-
count, and upon receipt of the
memorial book, an attractive
book plate will be attached to
ihe front of the book giving the
name of the donor and the i>er-
son in memorium. At the same
time, the family commemorated
is advised by printed note of the
donation.
This plan is successful in oth-
er libraries, and it is the opinion
of the library board members
that this opportunity will be
welcomed here.
Additional intormation may
be secured by phoning Mrs. An-
derson.
