LIBRARY NOTES The board of trustees of Mars- tons Mills Public Library met Wed- nesday evening to complete plans for the Ice cream social and open house at the library from 3 to 5 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 22, on the grounds of the library. In case of rain, social will be held at Liberty Hall. Library records show that on Aug. 22, 1891 a meeting was held in Liberty Hall to make plans to establish a public library, so seven shelves in the post office were made available for this purpose. About two years later , in 1893, a building was erected on the pres- ent site. Through great communi- ty effort and support, the new ad- dition to the library was added in 1966. From this humble beginning the library has grown, and on this 80th birthday has well over 6000 books and over 300 registered pa- trons. Invitations have been sent out to residents of the village to meet here that day and join in the so- ciability and help this worthy cause. The slogan is SUPPORT YOUR LIBRARY - USE YOUR LIBRARY. Funds are needed for the library to keep up with the demands of a growing village. Old records show that when vil- lagers gathered for a library so- cial 80 years ago, the men made ice cream and the ladles made the cookies, so in an effort to re- vive this custom there will be home-made Ice cream and home made cookies for all in attendance . All are welcome , and a large group is hoped for, at this once-a - year fund raising social.
