With the White House Conference on
Libraries antf Services convening in the na-
tion’s capital, this week is a particularly ap-
propriate time to "appraise and praise"
Sterling Municipal Library.
r The city library is testimony to the im-
portance of books and reading in our com-
munity. More than 100,000 books, periodicals,
films, framed prints and sculpture are
available, and these may be borrowed free
for general loan periods.
Most importantly,these items ate being us-
ed. There was a good reason for more than
doubling the space at the library in the 1975
bond program — the room was needed for ai)
those people .taking advantage of the
materials provided by Sterling Municipal
Library.
: Total number of items circulated by the
library during the 1978-79 fiscal year was
375,130! '
The Sun commends citizens for their con-
tinued support of-Sterling Municipal Library
and the city council and administration for
Responding to what the people deservea
library that is second to none.
And congratulatlonsto a dedicated Library
Board, Composed of citizens appointed by ci-
ty council, and to the communitywide
organization, the Friends of the Library.
Through the efforts of all these people, the
library staff is able to function as a whole in
providing competent service and assistance
to the patrons.
Thanks to the example and guidance of
Library Director Flora Wilhite, Steflin£
Municipal Library is not just a. place for
books, materials and equipment. It is a place
for people who use these things. -
Enjoy. '.HMi
