State Representative A. Neal Smith at Banquet. At the conclusion of the discussion groups all re-corders were asked to bring all recommendations to me so that we could go over them and try to under-stand the background as we pulled the recommenda-tions together. Twelve recorders attended the meet-ing and advised me on the issues to which their re-spective groups gave highest priority. Three recorders worked with me in summarizing recommendations for consideration on Saturday. They were Elizabeth Laney, Richard Hinson, and Ainsley Whitman. Several themes emerged from the recommendations and six major resolutions were voted on. However, a technological failure (the photocopy machine broke down) resulted in a decision by the delegates not to rubber stamp what they had received, but to entrust the delegates and alternates who had been selected to go to Washington with the task of framing resolu-tions for the group as a whole. These delegates met on November 21, and drafted resolutions which were subsequently approved through a mail ballot. In conclusion, this reporter would note that the North Carolina Governor's Conference represented democracy Bt work. At no point was there any at-tempt tn force an issue or to stampede delegates. The North Carolina delegates were a strong-minded group with their own ideas of what is needed in North Carolina. The lay delegates tended to come out strongly for more books and other library materials and more local Bervices; their attention seemed more focused on state than national issues, though a mul-tiplicity of issues with broader implications received their attention. Clearly there is strong support for better libraries in North Carolina and this support can be mobilized when citizens are convinced that their actions will result in improved resources and services in localities from Manteo to Morganton and Murphy.
