School libraries can be traced to that era also, when the prox- imity to a public library was a consideration when building new schools. The school libraries evolved as public libraries began temporaril y placing some book collections in schools. It also started the era of the bookmobiles , some of which are still in use today in rural areas. Were it not for libraries , how else, as poet John Greenleaf Whittier put it, could the young learn: Where Greek and Roman f ind themselves Alive along these crowded shelves: And Shakespeare treads again his stage. And Chaucer paints anew his age. Library... KEEP THE TOWN I STRONG... I Shop Locally! I Letters to the editor The Barnstable Patriot welcomes letters to the editor.
