NC School Library Offers Public Memberships in 1912
Postal librariana related to school libraries is difficult to find so I was delighted when I found a 1912 hand written flyer (see above) mailed by the Warrenton (NC) High School Librarian to members of the Warrenton community. The Librarian W. A. Naham extols the resources of the high school library and then offers to make the library available to non-students for an annual fee of $1. A sign up card was enclosed. He/she ends with: "This is better than borrowing from your neighbors, cheaper than purchasing for yourself, and the wise thing to do. Sign it now." Today Warren County Schools has two high schools in Warrenton. No information on their website about their libraries.
