The Public Library's talking book service was enabled by the Palmerston North Rotary Club. Its Rotary International’s 75th Jubilee project saw $3,000 donated to the Library to provide about 100 talking books to start the scheme. From left: Marie Moncrieff, Librarian; William Mansfield; Dorothy Mansfield ('House-bound' borrower).
