NORTH PALM BEACH — The
33-Member committee for a pro-
posed library in the Village of
North Palm Beach has been grant-�
ed permission to set up the new,
library in the former country club
building on U. S. 1.
Next step is to begin acquir-
ing books, and this will be the
subject of discussion at the next
committee meeting Tuesday at
the North Palm Beach Ele-
mentary School, according to
Mrs. Ralph Huts. Mrs. Huls and
Dr. Don Bicknell are co-chair-
men of the group.
Several organizations are al-
ready cooperating on the library
project. Their representatives will
report on expected funds for the
purchase of books. Other books
will be given as individual dona-
tions.
The library itself will culminate
more than a year of planning and
ultimately may become part of a
county library system.
During last year the Ameri-
can Assn. of University Women
studied library possibilities in
the area and presented the proj-
ect before the village council.
The Rotary Club has also done
Ia study in behalf of the pro-
posed library.
Anyone interested in helping
promote the library is invited to
attend the group's third meeting
Tuesday. Eventually supporters of
the project will become an organ-
ization, probably called "Friends 1
of the Library." I .
