Library Eyes Federal Funds for New Civil Works Project
Seymour Public Library trustees move to tap the civil works service program to employ unemployed women for tasks such as inventorying magazines cataloging books typing and cleaning. Miss Katherine Frazee and Mrs. Oren Swails lead the plan with county administrator Dr E N Kestner awaiting state approval. The program would finance wages entirely with federal funds and may allow library redecoration after the new year. The report notes Indiana’s CWA quota increase for Jackson County from 440 to 628 workers, now largely filled and requiring rapid action.
