It is now on dis play in thousands of schools, libra ries, bookstores and civic welfare penters to announce the opening of Book Week—November 16-22. The Children’s Book Council at 62 West 45th Street, New York City, by whom this poster is dis tributed, tells us that at least eleven million American boys and girls today are without library service or access to reading of any kind other than text books. These children live for the most part in rural areas and the conditions are to be found in varying degrees in nearly every state in the 'union. The Council, which is a public information center for and about children’s books, adds that they have initiated a national Book Week project, cooperating with the Save the Children Federation and the Treasure Chest Campaign, two of the Council’s twenty-nine co operating organizations. It is hoped that more fortunate com munities will join in the Treasure Chests U.S.A. project to donate Treasure Chests of children's books to rural schools in thcA United States (25,000 Treasure Chest books have alrefady been donated for children overseas). Westward Ho! “Go West” if you must, young man, but ’tis from the east that a new day will dawn enlighten ing the horizon and bringing Book Week into the limelight at the old Alma Mater November 16-22. Students will no longer have to grope in darkness for lack of in formation concerning the library, because the plans for this year’s observance at A. H. S. include a “Know Your Library” campaign. In each homeroom will be found book-jackets related to the sub jects taught in that room and students will be given a helpful questionaire concerning the li brary. Of course you’ll want to see the special display in the lob by, and the library club will pre sent the assembly program on Friday when Mrs. Allen Surratt, librarian at the Staply County Public Library, will speak. But I’ll bet you are thinking there isn’t a great deal more you need to know about the library, aren’t you? So did the eighth grade boy who called Miss Hol brook to the card catalogue the other day to affirm his decision. After pondering for some mo ments over the cards before him, the eyes of Sherlock, Jr., fell up on the word he sought. “Gee,” the saucer-eyed lover of hair-raising, spine-chilling, bed-time stories exclaimed, “I’ll bet this book is scarey!" But alas, the card he held bore the words, sacred writings." What about you, though? Would you ever find the infor mation for that theme or the ref erences for your special report, or even the books for parallel reading without assistance from the staff? Book Week and every week offer opportunities for you to use and familiarize yourself with the library. Compliments of QUALITY GROCERY 308 Montgomery Ave. L.
