of the library- to- be.

shows that Chicago

Ridge citizens are vitally

interested in a library, the

way will be paved for a sub-stantial

books from the State Lib-rary

Therefore, the Library

Cooper and the Vi-llage

Board, urge all who

love books and wish to share

some of their books with

others to be as generous as

possible on Chicago Ridge

Book Day.

A few requirements for

donated books:

used by the Library will

be passed on to some other

agency which can make use

of them.

call GA5- 4134 and we

will see that they are picked

up.
