Tlir 28th National Observance of Children's Hook Week is being calibrated this week, November 16-2 The slogan around which libraries, schools and civic organi zations are planning their annual Programs is "Hooks for the World *>1 Tomorrow". The poster, shown above, has bo?Mi designed by the noted illus trators of children's books, Ingri Kdgar l'arin D'Aulaire. It de picts the many generations of American children who have been privileged to inherit an ever in creasing wealth of books written, designed and published solely for thpir <leligiit and entertainment, hooks like these can prepare them to bo intelligent, tolerant and CO ?r?' :a ive citizens in the world of tomorrow. To activate this slogan, the Chil "Ten's Hook Council. 02 West 15th Street, New York City, which is national Headquarters for Book Week information and aids, "Hs initiated a special Hook Week projoct for 1947. The Council tells UR that at least eleven million American boys and girls are with 0,it access to library service or reading of any kind other than text books. This is a shocking fact, coupled with the knowledge that the United States is also the home of the greatest children's book In duntry in the world. The Council oas therefore enlisted the help of two of its twenty nine cooperating organizations. The Save the Chil dren Federation and the Treasure Chest Campaign to put oil the Treasure Chests U.S.A. program. This program was opened on Octo ber first to encourage more fortu nate communities to donate Trea sure Chests of children's books to rural schools in the United States (25.000 Treasure Chest books have already been donated and shipped to children overseas). In its free manual which outlines this project, the Council says "State Extension services, book mobiles and individual teachers have done much with limited funds to correct these conditions. It is hoped that Federal aid will soon release more help to these young citizens in our disadvantaged areas, but until that time comes we can all help to share the great wealth of American children's books with our own brothers and sisters in this new and easy way." Among the many countries who have received chests to date are the Philippines, China, France, Bel ' glum, Greece, Poland. Russia and I Siam. Chests can now be shipped to former enemy countries and have been received already in Japan, Germany and Austria. The Treas | ure Chest Campaign, though still an i independent unit, is now working j in cooperation with UNESCO. SHOWN IN THE ABOVE PICTURE IS CAROLYN SMITH.
