Dr. Allan Cease, with the installation of Carverton UM Charge LIBRARY NEWS Thousands of books The most exciting news at the Back Mountain Memorial Library this week was discovered when get- ting together the statistics for the library’s annual meeting. Would you believe that 82,000 books were cir- culated from the library in 1979? That’s 10,000 more books than the previous year! It is the largest yearly increase and the most books circulated in a one year peirod since the library was founded in 1945. The library’s book inventory at the end of 1979 stands ‘at 40,000. The Book Club will meet on Monday, Feb. 18 at 1:30 p.m. at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Shavertown. Visitors are welcome. Refreshments are served by the hostess committee. New books at the library: “The Longevity Factor’ by Walter McQuade and Ann Aikman may be the most valuable book you will ever read. It is about a revolutionary new system for prolonging your life called ‘Health profiling’. This information is not mere theory. There are vivid stories of real people who made ex- traordinary changes in their way of living. “The Lion Of Justice” by Jean Plaidy is a raw and robust historical novel of Henry and the two brothers he fought for the throne of England. Henry had vast am- bitions, he seized the throne, stole Normandy and waged constant war against the Church. A novel of ambition and love, alive with the tumult of the times, it becomes a riveting novel in a ruthless age. “Vision Quest’ by Terry Davis is a novel of ex- traordinary grace and power. It is the story of 18-year- old Louden Swain, a high school wrestler, who must lose weight, gain strength, and keep his balance. This is the high-spririted byt profoundly felt account of a wonderful boy who is alive to all the possiblities--and serious about becoming a man. Life was exciting on the old frontier, but not half as exciting as it is today. The ‘new frontiers’ in science, medicine, and technical progress today are twice as exciting because of the tremendous changes they are bringing in our lives. In frontier days, ‘book learning’ didn’t matter too much. The citizens of the Old West didn’t have to read to do his job in most cases, and even if he wanted to read, books were costly and pretty scarce. But in today’s ‘‘new frontier” living, reading and education are most important. Just to understand our jobs, our duties as citizens, and our day-to-day life, we must constantly keep informing ourselves through the printed page. And that’s where your library comes into the picture. With its thousands of books, magazines and other materials, it is an information center for your every need. Your free library card unlocks more of today’s knowledge than you could digest in a thousand lifetimes. So, use your library regularly--it pays!
