In November the Library

Commissioners, Mrs. Har-ry

Pote, Mrs. Stanley lor-enzano

and Mrs. Edward Za-rnecki,

put out a call for help

in forming a Friends of the

Library organization. The

purpose of this group would

be to create public interest

and support for the develop-ment

of the public library

within Chicago Ridge^ V mee-ting

held in Henry Ford Sch-ool

was attended by Mon-signor

Roche, Mayor Coo-per

and fourteen other int-erested

citizens. From this

first meeting public interest

has been snowballing and in

successive monthly mee-tings

they have elected a

slate of officers and ob-tained

a State Charter wi-th

100 members.

A public meeting to est-ablish

the bylaws of the or-ganization

and recruit more

members will be held at

Henry Ford School March

18. Everyone in the village

is invited, the library needs

your help to be successful.
