The first rumblings of a library movement were heard in the early 1940's when Mr. How- ard Risley had recommended a public library to his subscribers of a weekly newspaper, ‘The Dal- las Post’. The vacant Ryman home ‘on Main Street in Dallas was suggested as a possible library. Mrs. LeGrand worked diligently toward that goal. The Dallas Community Building Association, and the various clubs in the area worked on the project. The Back Mountain Memorial Library Association became an official association on February 15, 1945. The actual dedication of the library was scheduled for October 7, but violent storms prevailed and the dedication cere- monies were postponed until October 12, 1945. The library opened its doors on October 9 and was one of the first regional li- braries in Pennsylvania. The li- brary had a collection of 6,000 volumes on opening day when Miss Miriam Lathrop opened the library to the public. Herbert Hill, a Shavertown florist took out the first book. After spending the first 40 years on Main Street in two separate buildings, the library moved to its new home on Huntsville Road 9 years ago. The library today is a very busy and flourishing institu- tion. The Friends of the Back Moun- tain Memorial Library are selling the 20th anniversary edition of the all-new Dine-A-Mate book. Dine-A-Mate '95 is the area’s most popular dining, recreation and travel program. The unique membership pro- gram offers hundreds of offers from the area's favorite dining, recreation and entertainment services! Your membership en- titles you to special discounts on fine dining, family and casual dining, fast food, and carry out, recreation, services, travel and more. You receive a membership card to carry with you at all times. The books are available for pur- chase at the library for $25.00. New books at the library: “Everville” by Clive Barker is filled with wild fantasy, eroticism, and visionary horror and promises to take its reaers on a journey that will awe, arouse, and terrify in equal measure, opening the doors of a new reality. A door stands open that lets onto the shores of the dream-sea Quiddity and every soul will be changed by that fact. “Insomnia” by Stephen King starts when Ralph Roberts has a problem: he isn't sleeping so well these days; in fact, hardly at all. The news on the bedside clock gets worse each day. The books call it “premature waking,” but Ralph calls it a ‘season in hell. He's begun to experience visual phenomena. You, gentle reader, may never sleep again. Welcome to Insomnia!
