The year's budget for our library calls for $200.00. Last year we started out with a left over fund of $154.00. We sold 55 reading cards at $1.00 each. This year we must earn the total amount, therefore we must ask your assistance.
Our library is a community project not just a Rossville library. Anyone within the county and trade area are welcome and urged to use it.
Every six months we rent 50 juvenile books and 50 adult books. Change of books is due in November.
You may buy your reading cards at the library or from the solicitors mentioned last week. All cards sold now will expire January, 1953, giving you two months of free reading.

LIBRARY NOTES
The Traveling Library books from Topeka are here for both adults and juveniles.
"The Long, Long Trailer" by Clinton Twiss. This is a true and very funny story of a trailer that grew and grew. Mr. Twiss, who is known to thousands of radio listeners says "You'd have to live in a trailer to know what it means to write with the vacuum cleaner running and your wife urging you to move while she takes the pie out of the oven. Read it and have a good laugh."
We have "Winter Wedding" by Martha Barnhart Harper, reviewed this week by Edith Higginbotham in her pleasing style. This companion volume to Mrs. Harper's popular "Bittersweet" is a cheerful, homey story. The heroine is a teacher who leaves her Pennsylvania home in 1865 and goes West to Iowa, lives with relatives and finds romance. Mrs. Phyllis Babicki donated this book.
