Widen Out Library Plans For Kansas
Emporia Kans June 1 All Kansans may have libraries at their doors now if they take advantage of the new county library law. The county plan avoids duplication of small library setups and lowers costs. Most counties can maintain service with a levy far below the one half mill, likely a quarter mill, if city libraries join. Tax would be about 2.50 yearly for a 310 000 property. The system uses deposit stations and weekly book wagons to farms, with shelves of books and magazines for selection. Nineteen states already have county systems, Maryland pioneer with book wagons for 25 years.
