Librarian Is Chosen

Board Engages Miss Zola Moss to Take Charge - Rooms Over the Hardware secured.

Seventeen applications for the position of librarian were presented at the meeting of the library board Monday night, as follows Iva Smith,
Ettie Low,
Zulie A. Cline.
Mrs. Mabel Randell Buchanan,
Mrs. Carrie E. Huff,
Eva Hinshaw.
Mrs. Chas. G McLane
Mrs. Charity Stahl,
Bess Easterday,
Vernon McLane,
Mabel Crossland,
George Zechiel,
Henry Zechiel,
Mrs. V. D. Elick,
Zola Moss,
Grace Voreis and
Eugenia McFarland.

The choice fell on Miss Moss.

A special committee reported that it had made verbal contract with Urias Menser for the front four rooms over the hardware store at $5 per month, and in addition has arranged with Mrs. Oberlin, the recent tenant, to use her furniture at a rental of $4 per month. Mr. Menser agrees to wire the rooms.

The renting of rooms already furnished will relieve the board of the necessity of the expense of buying rugs, tables, chairs, etc. for a time, at least. With volunteer help from some of the high school boys it is expected to move the books next Monday, and to open the rooms for library and reading purposes soon after Jan. 1 with the new librarian in charge.

It was voted to pay Miss Bess Easterday $1 a week for her services as librarian during the 18 weeks that she will have served. Miss Easterday volunteered her services last August, but the board felt that she deserved something more than thanks.

A letter was received from the Carnegie corporation stating that Culver-Union township's application for money for a building would be acted upon at the next meeting of the corporation. The date of the meeting was not given.

Several matters of routine were passed upon and the board adjourned to meet the first Monday in January.

The library board is hoping that some of its interested friends will present t with a year's subscription to some of the magazines and periodicals, both for adult and children's reading. There are no funds available now and will not be before next July and whatever expense is incurred will have to be met by the members of the board borrowing on their personal security. Consequently any help extended will be cddoubly appreciated at this time. Oct 9 1914 Citizen
