Mrs. Guy Chambers Recommended For Another Term Library Board Reappointment of Mrs.

Guy C. Chambers as a member of the library board was recommended to the city council by the board Tuesday afternoon. Recommendations for successors to Fred Ress, present chairman Dr. C. H.

Patterson were deferred. Neither is eligible to reappointment Members of the board are in somewhat of a quandary over circulation which has dropped steadily since Lincoln men started joining the military service.

The board will cooperate with the army in supplying reading for the soldiers. Already looking in that direction, the library has prepared in catalogue form, a list of all reading available on aviation. Also ready for distribution are a number of small civilian defense booklets. especillv gardening. Tribute To Woodruff at the resignation of Mrs.

Lila Woodruff was expressed in a resolution thift was passed. "Her service to the library and to the people of Lincoln has been it said.
