M I L F O r' d Library Notes By Mrs. Dorothea Kerlin I' 7 ' I We would like to express our appreciation to many people of the community for their interest in the library, as has been demonstrated in the numerous gifts in the past. Recently, money was given by friends and neighbors of Henry Martin, to be used as we saw fit, as a memorial to him. Since then we have purchased a typewriter : stand equipped with two drop leaves and a utility drawer, with the money. This is something we have needed for a long time. The Columbian Reading Circle presented the library with a check, no strings attached as to what should be purchased, but whatever it is, it will be credited to foe chib. Not only are. the people of our community “library conscious,” but also friends far away, as again but also friends far away, as again demonstrated this week, when a check was received from Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Gilbert of Princeton, i N. J., in memory of Helen Benson (Gilbert. For a number of years we I have been remembered by the Gili berts, with many books having [been placed in the library through their generosity. ! We have a “memorial book” in the library, in which we have the donors, the persons remembered, and foe titles and authors of the books, or other memorials. Come in and look through it. • For awhile we kept the books relegated to a “memorial shelf”, but have found them more useful and appreciated when they are kept in the proper category and on the shelves dealing with specific tj-pes of books. In every town that supports a library there is a group of people connected with the library whose function often seems obscure, mysterious or misunderstood by citizens in that town. . . .the library board of trustees. Actually, however. the circle is neither exclusive nor mysterious. The members of the Milford public library board are conscientious citizens devoting time , and energy for the good of foe whole community by serving (for nothing, as far as money is concerned) in this capacity. They are James Stuckman, Royce Fuller, Mrs. Parker Phend, Mrs. Delbert Roderick. Mrs. Joseph Gerencser, Ezra Beer and Carl Shearer. In Indiana, three members of a library board are appointed by the judge of the county, two by foe towTi board, and two by foe school board. Each appointment is for four years, and may be renewed three times. This is a new law, as in the past board members have been known to serve for 40 years or more. \ The library trustees have the difficult task of being sensitive to citizen and community nctxls so that they can offer the kind of service the community needs; improve it as demands are made. • with adequate staff and material. The board must provide a sound budget with adequate funds for the administration of the library. The big pro-
