how Much interest residents would
have in an area library. An A.A.LT.W.
library committee was formed and or-
ganizations in the area were invited to
send representatives to the Organiza-
tional meeting. In 1963, the group of-
ficially became the North Palm Beach
Library Society, 17ic. The -Society's
aims are the promotion and mainten-
ance of the library. Its members have
been active in providing staff assist-
