Dear Mr. Duncan,
When I last saw me (sic), you asked whether we needed anything more for our library room.
The book shelves that Mr. Kinnier had his men erect for us at your “say-so” are now over-crowded.
We expect to add more books – we receive some books almost every week.
Therefore we would the appreciate the kindness shown us if the county could have another set of shelves built for our library in the near future.
The library room is lovely and quite an asset for the community and we appreciate having it. We have more than doubled the number of books in the library since we are in the new quarters. There was no incentive in doing so before we had a good place to house the books.
Again thanking you for your interest and help in providing us this library room.
I am --
Yours sincerely
Clara R. Lyons, Chairman,
