Library Lines - - -
By S. E. Hening
Rappahannock Has Arrived Hunting “status symbols* is the popular sport of the day. Everybody seems to be hunting" something that will give them status or standing. Communities do the same. A library is a status symbol for a community, a mark of distinction, or aristocracy if you please, taking its place with churches and other cultural and uplifting centers. Establishing a new library in a small community indicates that some people in that community care about culture and a cultural atmosphere.
With a rare demonstration of community cooperation, a few enthusiastic and devoted leaders, encouraged by the help and gifts of many, have given Rappahannock County not only a symbol of status but a very attractive and useful library; and what could be more appropriate than converting an abandoned church into a public library? Few small communities can boast of such an asset. Now this mark of distinction is ready not only to be visited and admired but for practical use. While making no pretense of competing with a complete large city library, visitors for the first time may well be surprised at the wide variety of books, dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, maps, reference books, poetry, fiction, classics, rare copies, etc. If you have not visited and used this new addition to our county you have something to anticipate with pleasure and profit. Whatever your interest whether looking for something interesting to read, look up a word or reference, checking a quotation, dipping into poetry, examining books and magazines on gardens and flowers, or just browsing around and thumbing through some of the rare old books, there is something here for you. Some of these books will be described in detail in later issues of this paper. In the meantime treat yourself by visiting our new library on Saturday morning or Wednesday afternoon. You will be well repaid.
