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!
