Home Demonstration Clubs Supporting Rural Libraries, 1936

Carolina Co-operator, March 1936
It is interesting to see that home demonstration clubs are sponsoring small libraries in their rural communities. The Red Oak Library in Nash County is kept open at regular times by a librarian, and they have added many good books this year.
The Aventon Club in the same county has received 50 additional books, and the entire community seems to be much interested in circulating the books widely. In consequence people are reading more.
The Holly Grove Club has started a library with 60 books which were given them by the Mt. Pleasant Club, both in Nash County, has a circulating library which is sent from Raleigh. The Benvenue Club, too, has a book exchange.
