Library Club at Nahunta High Is Active with Project The Nahunta High School Li brary Club which consists of twenty assistants and Mrs. Mary Lou Gibson, librarian, and spon sor, discussed library projects at their organizational meeting in October. They chose as their pro ject contacting every person who had graduated from Nahunta and any one having taught in high school and inviting them to au tograph a book and give to the Library. The club began contacting graduates beginning with the 1929 class which was Nahunta’s first. Many students and teachers have been contacted There are how ever many we have failed to reach, but the project will carry over into next the summer and the next school year. As we get an address we mail another letter. The money has been used to take care of the expenses of the pro ject. Many excellent books have been received. The club realized that this could be a channel through which inferior material could reach the library, so they asked for any thing on Junior or Senior high reading level in either fiction or non-fidion. The club reviews the books first and we are happy to report we have shelved every book received. This project was chosen because we felt it would serve a two fold purpose. It is a good edu cational project where in interest in reading is stimulated and books are being added to our count at the same time. It has served as wonderful public relations also. The club plans to invite the graduates each year to contribute thus making It a k»ng-rango pro gram. Interest has really run high all year. Students have watched for the mail daily and eagerly reach ed for a book. It has been exciting to find where our graduates are. Thus far we have found them to be in forty of our fifty-two states, and many over seas in the various military areas. We will later pub lish a poll on this. This is an invitation to any one we have failed to reach. Give your book and be represent ed in your school, as making pos sible good reading material in your Alma Mater. Open-House will be some time in May, so that people may see our wonderful collection of gift books. Let yours be one and make your class one-hundred per cent!
