Traveling Library Plan Urges Athens Teachers to Act
The state’s traveling libraries will reach every Athens county school. Teachers should appoint a local librarian to apply to State Librarian Galbreath in Columbus, receive a book list, and purchase only express charges. Schools keep 25 to 50 books for three months, chosen by local librarians to fit pupil ages. The Teachers’ Union meeting next Saturday should adopt and implement this plan to provide wholesome reading material countywide.
