STORY LADY NEEDED
The library is in need of
at least one, and perhaps two,
Story Ladies, as Mrs. Marga
ret Pate, who has been the
Story Lady for the Library's
Saturday afternoon program,
has had to give up the posi
tion. Mrs Pate has been
entertaining about 15 child
ren each Saturday afternoon,
but it was felt that if two
Story Ladies could be obtai
ned, the group could be divi
ded into younger and older
c hildreu, making it easier to
find stories to match the age
groups.
The Story Hour will be
from 2 to 3 every Saturday
afternoon, instead of from 2
to 4.
