Mr. Kenneth Roberts Kennebunkport Maine
Dear Mr. Roberts:
Your letter of January 2 has been received;
and we are enclosing a list of stipend libraries and also one of non-stipend libraries in the state. Stipend libraries are those which are supported by funds appropriated from money raised by taxation; and they receive a stipend from the state, based upon the amount received from the town. Non- stipend libraries are not tax supported, but are variously financed by organizations, summer residents, churches, granges, and similar means.
We would have no way of knowing which of these
did not purchase MARCH TO QUEBEC§ it is probably safe to assume that the larger libraries, which we have checked in red, would have ·the book. As to the others, the only way of knowing is undoubtedly to inquire directly.
we fear that our reply is not especially helpful,
but we do hope that if we can be of any further service, you will not hesitate to call upon us. If, as your letter might indicate, there is to be a possibility that smaller libraries will receive a copy of 1our .splendid book, we are delighted.
Please accept our sincere wishea for a bright and interesting 1940.
Very truly yours
MAINE STATE LIBRARY
