Library growth and drive for a new building in Ripley
Misa Mattie Brarian reports Henry Henley Library’s strong year with 6079 total loans and 2501 volumes, plus 49 rebounds and 26 replacements. The town enjoys a rich magazine list and a 128 volume wartime set donated by Congressman Watson. Demand for space rises, prompting a levy proposal of 5c per $100 for three years, aided by a $1000 donor and further gifts totaling 2500 needed to reach 5000 for a new library tailored to readers. Public opinion favors a commodious library with architectural grace and inviting interiors to boost use.
