she said.

that Chattooga Commissioner

Mrs. Floyd said the library
had received a SI,OOO donation
with the specification that at
least some of the money be us
ed for repairs.
Leaks in the roof endanger
books and other materials in
the library, she said, and the
staff has to put out buckets to
catch the water when it rains.
STAFF
Mrs. Floyd also said that
the board should consider ad
ditional staff to serve the
public in the future, adding
that funds are not currently
available for the proposal.
However, she has been told by
state officials that if the com
bined contribution of the coun
ty and local cities to the library
is at least SBI,OOO, the library
would qualify for another state
paid position.
It was also announced that
the library has purchased 70
16mm movie films for use by
the public, such as schools,
clubs, churches and other
groups. The films were obtain
ed for only $2 each, it was an
