- Description
- Our number one problem continues to be more space for books. A simple building addition to the book storage area is the answer to our need. When we can obtain $100,000 for construction our difficulty will be solved. On April 18, 1955 we told the City Council of this need. On June 21 we had the privilege of meeting with the council chairman and the city manager to discuss the problem, particularly in its financial aspects. The year 1955 did not bring solution of the problem. Solution in 1956 is, therefore, more than ever urgent...Among innovations in the library service were the opening of the children's room for two evenings weekly--the transfer of the children's story period from Saturday mornings to two afternoons for two different age groups--and the provision by the Junior League of Bangor of a book delivery service for shut-ins.
