AT LEAST not the Davis County Library where there were some years so lean no money was budgeted for any books at all. That's not the case now, but in addition to regularly budgeted materials, the library has received two sizeable donations valued at thousands of dollars, many of them science oriented and of recent publication, says Library Director Jeanne Layton. SOME $6,000 in books were received from the Book End, a former Bountiful bookseller. It included most of their inventory inven-tory which featured "a considerable consid-erable number of art books, some standard reference books and some current popular popu-lar fiction and self-help books," Ms. Layton says. The Book End collection also includes some childrens' books and "quite a few high-quality high-quality paperbacks" with those that are duplicates to be earmarked tor the coming Layton Library, Ms. Laywon . said. ABOUT THE same time the James Barnes collection was donated by Dr. Caunte Barnes and Barbara Gillespie, brother and sister of the deceased Kaysville resident.
