"Librarians Met At Southwest Harbor Thursday The Round Table of Librarians held Thursday at the public library here was attended by 22 librarians and library trustees from out of town in spite of the rainy day, which doubtless kept others at home. Miss Marian Shaw of the State Library at Augusta presided. The morning session opened at 10 o'clock, beginning with the welcome to the town and a sketch of the history of the Southwest Harbor Library by Mrs. Seth Thornton, who described the small beginning 68 years ago to the present comfortable, well equipped and well stocked library. Discussion of problems arising in the work brought out many good ideas and suggestions from Miss Shaw's experience. The subjects were how long to keep current magazines on hand, when to discard books, restrictions as to lending books of doubtful value and Mrs. Chester R. Parker of the Bluehill [sic] Library, gave a demonstration of mending and rebinding books. Lunch was served at the Carpenter Restaurant and the meeting resumed at 2 o'clock. Miss Shaw showed some children's books useful in teaching race relations, several discussions followed and there was a demonstration of story telling. [sic] Tea was served by the trustees of the Southwest Harbor Library. Those attending from out of town were: Miss Marian Shaw of Augusta, Mrs. Harriet V. C. Ogden, Mrs. J. H. Evans, of Bar Harbor, Mrs. Cynthia Stanley, Manset; Edith V. Vaughan, Frances W. Weeks, Gertrude F. Durham, Belfast: Charlotte Norwood, Bernard, Mrs. C. A. Haynes, Miss Marion Wyman, Mrs. J. J.
