PAGE SIXTEEN LIBRARY NEWS _by Nancy S. Kozemchak 0f I An idea that has paid off! One of our patrons came up “with a suggestion that we sell books all year long instead of only at Auction time. After many pros and cons, the ‘Tuesday Book Sale on the 2nd floor of the annex was initiated. As of Dec. 31st, the book sale has netted the library $500. “This helps to fill the gap in the budget. Books are donated to the library almost every day and we are taking the _nice, clean ones to the sale. _ The sale will continue on Tuesdays 10 to noon and 2 to 4 D. m. If Tuesday is a bad time for you and you would like to come to the sale, contact Nancy at the library and set a time. Many thanks to all or our donators and buyers who make the Book Sale possible! ,.

It is the story of a relationship bet- ween a child trying to stay alive and a ruthless, cunning, lonely woman. “The Far Pavilions” by M.M. Kaye is a two volume novel purchased by the Book Club. It is a rare long novel you will hate to see come to an end; it is almost like breaking up with someone you love. Spanning twenty-five of the 19th century’s most turbulent years, it is a mesmerizing story of hatred and bitter combat; of courage, cowardice and human sacrifice. . I’m sure anyone who is involved with the library in any way has heard of our faithful friend, Mrs. Dana Crump. I don’t think there are too many things in Mrs. Crump’s life that come before the library. The last day before the Christmas holidays, we got an urgent call from her ad- vising us that she has come across a home where the contents are being sold and we can have about 200 books. Well, there was snow on the ground, the parking lot was almost unavailable to get to, but she had rounded up a truck and had ashes and salt brought in and they would be here in half an hour; get the upstairs room ready. “No problem”’, says Mrs. Crump, “I've got ashes and a shovel in my car if we get stuck.” ‘We have to unload in a hurry”’, she said, “I’ve got cookies baking in the oven at home.”” The books were unloaded, ready for sorting and Mrs. Crump went back to her baking, returning later in the day with cookies for the staff. This type of concern has got to be called dedication! Mrs. Crump was 84 years old in December. Book Club will meet Monday, Jan. 15th at 1:30 p.m. in the First Eastern Bank Building. Mrs. Crump will preside and tea will be served. An interesting program has been planned. Why not come and join the members of the Book Club for an enjoyable afternoon. Heritage House of Wilkes-Barre.

And some are prone to error but that is no ex- cuse for the driver that went through the stop sign. “Television brought to the forefront that the condition exists and we will be conferring with the contractor, Leon Emmanuel.” Shipe pointed out that the bus drivers cover 1700 miles daily and the district has been fortunate that there have been only a few minor accidents. “But we realize one person making one mistake could result in tragedy,” he said. public, said Shipe, to report bus driver violations just as other violations are reported so corrections can be made. “Sometimes people take liberties for their own advantage,” said Shipe. “Now is the time for us to ask everyone to be more alert and cautious of students whether in buses or standing along the highway.” Richard Hislop, school board president, said that the board has no direct control over employing drivers, that this is the responsiblity of the contractor. Drivers credentials are submitted to the board for approval by Emmanuel. He believes part of the problem is Heritage House now ad- mits male as well as \ men on social security can afford to take the jobs which include odd hours. Hislop said that in his experience, many of the responsible drivers have been women, usually mothers of school children. He is disturbed by the incident since students are the most valuable cargo transported by the district. “The district is fortunate tht they have had no tragedies but such violations could result in some. We need to come up with some way to prevent such incidents.” school on Friday and the ad- ministration tried to contact Emmanuel but he was not in. Since that time Shipe has spoken with Emmanuel several times and board members will meet with Emmanuel to evaluate the incidents. In the meantime, Shipe and Mrs. complaints to the coordinator’s office incidents. Late Tuesday afternoon in a con- versation with Leon Emmanuel, contractor for the district’s bus transportation, Emmanuel noted that the district’s buses travel 306,000 miles annually transporting 19,800 loads of children. “Each year there are 1,188, 000 chances for a child to be injured while on the bus. To my knowledge none have been injured because of neglect, carelessness or violations by the driver: necessary for the drivers to maneuver the buses to the middle or other lane to make a turn because many of the streets were not made for 35 feet wide vehicles. And at many intersections, when they come to a stop sign their view is obstructed and the drivers have to pull out beyond the stop sign to look for oncoming traffic. “Ihave instructed all my drivers, in the future, if they are being followed to drive directly to the nearest police station and let the police find out who is following them. “I don’t mind. violations being called to my attention but I do believe that the employees of the station could have had the courtesy to discuss the incidents with me or the school district officials before they showed the film. They didn’t give us a chance.” ! Emmanuel said that it is not easy to find drivers who are willing to get up at 6 a.m. and drive the’ school bus in all kinds of weather including sub- .zero temperatures, especially for the low wages they are paid.
