WINNERS IN MODEL BOATâ€"PLANE SHOW Thursday, August 20, 1931 Eliza Jane Connolly, Lake Forest (Cntinued from page 4) The Library Moves > The Highland Park Public Library is moving into the new library buildâ€" ing on Friday and Saturday of this week. Books may be returned to the old City hall on those days, butâ€"no books will be available until Monday morning, when the new building will open at 9 o‘clock. Most of these harmless arguments start at the dinner table, Miss Henâ€" dee, librarian, reports, and they range through the whole category of human knowledge. ;s Where is Abyssinia? What is the capital of Peru? Where is emberâ€" gris foupd? Who was president durâ€" ing the paric of 19077 These and hundreds. of other questions involve many local »families in â€"endlessâ€"disâ€" putes. Sides are taken, an investiâ€" gator appointed and a trip to the liâ€" brary unearths the necessary inforâ€" mation. use se e doe Family Arguments Did you know that the public liâ€" brary is considered by many local families as the official "arbiter of family arguments?" "There are few subjects of arguâ€" ment not covered by the wide range of referenees, encyclopedias, handâ€" books, almanacs and other books in the library," Miss Hendee says. "We are called upon to help find the anâ€" swer, settle the bets and pacify the feud in many a local family. It‘s another â€" interesting library â€"service which is part of our daily work here." Lest You Forget! & How to get a library card,â€" _ _ "To get a card at the Highland Park public library you must register your name and address.â€"If theseâ€"can be corroborated by the latest city directory or telephone book, you may draw a book at once. If your identity tan not be established at once, then a reference is requiredâ€"one who has a card at the public library or whose name is in the latest telephone or city directory." ; The new policy of carrying with us our library card has been readily adopted by the patrons of the library and found to be a saving of time. A smaller form of identification card is now being issued. This size may be carried in your vest pocket or a small purse. In 1683 among the rules for the guidance of students at the King‘s College library in Cambridge, Engâ€" land, was one which read: "Each person that makes use of any books in said library is required to set them up again decently, without entanglâ€" ing the chains." A gift of books to a library in those days was accompanâ€" ied by a request that "the books be fixed or chained as well as may be be within the library." The Highland Park library wishes to apply these sentiments only to dogs brought for éxercise to the liâ€" brary. Ten Best Books of 1930 Barnes, Years of Grace. Fisher, Deepening Stream. Jordan, Pr.
