Librarian Notes Fines, Books and Teen Picks at Library
In 1901 a two cent fine and inflation are noted as the cost of keeping library books. A 1958 update shows many teen titles added, including The Green Helmet and The Wooden Horse, with staff schedules and hours. The piece blends historic fines with new acquisitions, author notes, and interest in war debt context and cadet life. Sharron Stein, 1556 Green Berry Rd, is mentioned alongside the ongoing effort to keep the library shelves stocked for youth readers.
