Sunday, Nov. 5, 1972 Philadelphia Injtiirer 9 Little Library IV ever Lonely Tuesdays and Thursdays. To expand the service, the school would need volunteer librarians. The William Penn School District, which was formed last July from the old districts of Lansdowne-Aldan, Darby-Colwyn and Yeadon, is not one of the wealthier districts in the suburban area. And East Lansdowne is the only one of its schools offering its library to the public.

This may seem like a very small tiling. Everything in East Lansdowne seems tiny. "We feel, though, that this is an important service to the community," said Dr. Nagy. That it is small in size, mighty in effort, a community gesture that should be admired and copied.

"We have 150 kids in this gym here at night and about 95 percent are non-public school kids," said Thomas W. Donnell, school principal. Of course, many schools with gyms and ball fields are open to the public, but the big heroic effort at East Lans-downe is its little library. "The library is so small that most of the pupils come here for the reference works alone," Donnell said.

One wall of the small room is devoted to the adult population of the borough. It has only about 1,500 adult books, but, in my opinion, they appear to be of top-quality reading. You don't see as many "light love" novels which seem to flood the shelves of most small neighborhood libraries. "THE BIG PROBLEM, as you can see, is space," said Dr. Nagy.

There are plans to add shelves in the hallway outside. "We have books here which we can't unpack." Presently, the library is open two nights a week, on $2495 $34" iiobson Otumb '1 Mv 22-inch by 28-inch map shows streets, towns, industrial parks, shopping centers businesses and schools in portions of Bucks and Montgomery counties.

THE SUIT SEEKS to stop the township permanently from constructing the playground area and also to restore the land to its natural conditions. Also cited in the suit was a fear of a lack of police protection if a playground were built.

Meyers said 150 residents are members of the citizens committee.
