Celestine Sibley autographs one of her books for Mrs. Kermit
Dekle, Librarian at the Early County Library; Mrs. George
Nelson, Chairman of the Early County Library Board (center),
was emcee at the luncheon here Thursday, held in observance
of National Library Week.
Celestine Sibley, columnist and
author, delighted her audience of
approximately two hundred
Southwest Georgians here Thurs
day with personal glimpses of
people she has come to know,
or has interviewed, as she has
worked for the Atlanta Consti
tution the past twenty-five years.
Her interesting stories of
people in Atlanta like Mrs. Pur
cell, Mrs. Peavy, and Pee Wee
the Safecracker, and others on a
national level, such as former
presidents and movie stars, gave
those present an even deeper
look into the world of a colum
nist and reporter, than her daily
column reveals.
Miss Sibley was introduced
by Representative Mobley Ho
well, who identified her as a
loyal Georgian, who regularally
covers the sessions of the Geor
gia General Assembly, although
she was born in Holly, Florida
and began her career as a news
paper woman with the Mobile
Register at the age of sixteen;
she grew up in Alabama and
since 1941 has lived in Atlanta.
