library staff will be on hand to give tours.” Although the building itself is a threestory structure, tours will only be conducted on the second and third floors, according to Mrs. Sedlack. "We cannot give tours in the basement area of the building because there is no second fire exit,” she noted. “The fire chief will not allow us to take people down there because of that.” IN ADDITION TO TOURS of the building, there will also be preliminary drawings of the renovation to give the public a chance to view upcoming work. “The drawings we have will in no way be final,” Mrs. Sedlack said. “There will be some drawings of the layout and particularly one of the exterior. ” To initiate the bond issue, Mrs. Sedlack noted only 50 signatures are needed. However, the board plans to obtain several more. The Library Board also plans to keep the public informed of what will become a part of its future.

recent public hearing held at McAnally Center, which detailed the sll.l million construction and remodeling effort to be undertaken by the Greencastle School Corp. “It will be basically the same I imagine,” Mrs. Sedlack said. “I will be there, as will my staff and the Library Board and architects. We will have drawings of the proposal on hand and cost estimates for our presentations.” In meeting with the commissioners Monday night, that is the first step in the Library Board being ready to contact county officials about its plans. Members determined earlier to wait until all pertinent information about the proposal could be confirmed, before contacting the county. That way, members would have definite plans available and not just theories. FOLLOWING UP ON the Monday meeting with the commissioners, Mrs. Sedlack also plans to meet with the County Council, when that board convenes at 1 p.m. Nov. 19 for its regular monthly meeting. In the meantime, a special meeting of the Library Board is scheduled at 7 p.m. Thursday at the library’s present 102 E. Walnut St., Greencastle, facility. That meeting will be followed by the 7 p.m. Nov. 14 regular meeting of Library Board members at the same location. Those meetings are public.

Senior focus RSVP plans 11th annual banquet

“RSVP Reflections,” submitted by Mary Skidmore, RSVP director, and Thelma Burkhardt, assistant director By now the reservations are in and the food has been ordered for the annual RSVP banquet. The Council on Aging and the RSVP look forward to this celebration each fall. It is in recognition of the RSVP VlP’s, the volunteers. Although RSVP has been in operation in Putnam County since September 1973, this will be the 11th annual awards night. TWO OF THE ORIGINAL volunteers will be observing their 12th year as RSVP volunteers - Louise Knauer and Gladys Silvey. Their final dedication to voluntarism has been appreciated by many people and their durability is to be commended. *** One of the functions of the RSVP Advisory Council is to conduct an annual appraisal of the project operation and submit a report to be included with the grant application. This year 50 volunteers were randomly selected and interviewed by members of the Advisory Council. As a result of these interviews, it was discovered that some volunteers would like to try different jobs. Please feel free to talk to the staff about adding to or changing your assignment. ON THE WHOLE, SENIORS did not seem to have but very few criticisms of the entire program. Eighty-six per cent of those interviewed felt the RSVP program to be very worthwhile. **• Thanks to Lucille Jones, Marie Hunt, Emily Dickey and Verna Turner for canceled stamps and to Gracie Akins, Florence Lady, Helen and Kenny Knauer for Welcome Box items.

We think the themes we have chosen will take a minimal amount of work and nothing new. If you don’t happen to have something on hand or don’t want to par-
