MOORE'S GARAGE
PALMER, THE VALLEY, JONESVILLE
SERVED BY PUBLIC LIBRARY HERE
(The sixth in a series of ar
ticles explaining the functions
of the various agencies bene
fiting from Community Chest
funds in the Matanuska Valley.)
The Palmer Library Association
was formed in October, 1945, and
is incorporated under the laws of
the Territory of Alaska as a non
profit organization.
The purchase of a library card
entitles the holder to a year’s
membership in the association.
The library to date has approxi
mately one hundred members. It
serves Palmer and the surround
ing Valley, including Jonesville.
Since its inception, the library
has been housed first in the Co
Op Rec Hall and later in A1
King’s Garage. It is now in the
process of erecting its own build
ing with the help of the com
munity.
With the new building to pay
for, the library’s expenses have
increased. Not only are there
bills outstanding for building ma
terials, but there will be a con
stant fuel bill. That is one ex
pense it has never had before and
a very important one.
The only sources of money that
the Palmer Library has are: (1)
the Community Chest: (2) mem
bership fees; (3) the Territory of
Alaska; (4) any private unsolicit
ed donations.
The money contributed by the
Community Chest can be spent
on running expense only. The
money contributed by the Terri
tory under the law regarding
libraries can be spent only for
books. It is a matching fund up
to $150.
The library board expects to
open the new library in Novem
ber and the plans at present are I
that the library will be open
Monday through Friday from 2 to
4 p.m. and at least three nights a
week from 7 to 9 p.m. In the
new building there will be read
ing facilities for both adults and
children.
Your contributions to the li
brary through the Community
Chest will enable it to give better
library service to Palmer and the
Matanuska Valley.
The Board of Directors of the
Library Association is composed
of Mrs. Earl Graves, president;
George Giewitz, vice-president;
Mrs. Don Ingalls, secretary; Mrs.
Foster Sims, treasurer; Harold
Thuma, Rev. Victor Alfsen and
Miss Louise Kellogg. An annual
meeting is held to which all mem
bers are invited.

GRANGE BEGINS WORK
