We should also be proud of the people who have volunteered to work so willingly in the library as it really is a steady and never-ending job to get the books ready for our use. Linda Vanderlcolk has typed Willete Sima, Donald Kraft, and Le-tha Nozicka using the David City High School modern library.

The book shop also has subscriptions to 65 different magazines. lt is surely a privilege to have a library so well equipped for our education and pleasure.
