Well Represented At Library Meeting Practically every library in Orange County was represented yesterday at the second meeting of the Orange County Library Club which met in the Whittier Public Library at 10 a.m. The first hour was spent in getting acquainted, looking over the attractive library and talking "shop." At 11 o'clock the meeting was called Minnie Maxwell. Twenty-two librarians responded to roll call. After the necessary business had been transacted Miss Melvor, a librarian from Bloomington, Wisconsin, was introduced and gave a very interesting talk on library conditions in her state. One especially interesting item mentioned was that in Wisconsin a recent law requires that library methods and the use of libraries be taught in every high school during the senior year. A most helpful and interesting feature of the meeting was the round table discussion of library questions and problems conducted by Miss Margaret Guthrie, librarian of the Orange High School. The time allotted to this part of the program was all too short, for every one had questions they wanted discussed although some of the discussions had to be brief, and some postponed until the next meeting for further consideration. Yet all agreed they had received help and inspiration. At 1 o'clock a dainty and delicious luncheon in keeping with Washington's Birthday was served by Miss Harris and her assistants of the Whittier library.
