deposit fee required of book-borrowers at the Public
Library,
which was opened Saturday, was
made this week by W. H. Avinger,
of the Lions Club library committee.
Mr. Avinger said that the deposit is merely one that is required of a family while the members of the family are borrowing
books at the library. When
a
family group ceases to use the library—or leaves town—the deposit is refunded.
The library is being kept open
from 4 o'clock until 6:30 each day
except Sunday, Mr. Avinger said.
Readers at the library, Mr. Avinger explained, are not subject to
the payment of the borrower's fee.
