Monroe Bookmobile Gets Free Books For Library Commission
Monroe County Bookmobile received free books from the West Virginia Library Commission. About 8 000 titles valued from 2.50 to 20 dollars are in the collection, with up to date books issued quarterly and worn ones returned. The county library began in 1947 with volunteer trustees and is funded by the county court and board of education. If the county court does not approve its half of the 1959 1960 budget at the August meeting the bookmobile may close, a action feared to be a setback for Monroe County residents.
