Pretty Pocke,t.-Book," Issued by
John Newbery In Euglani in 1744.
Because of -this anniversary and
because of the phenomenal boom
In the sale of children's books
and most Importantly because of
the deeo social implications in this
nnnb WopIt lhamn "Hnited

dously expanded. i f
Throughout the country children
ml orinl am tin-nine with fieuh
enthusiasm to the wealth of beau
tiful and exciting books puV.isbcii
for children and to tne importance
ot books In the life of the growing,
developing child. Books are the
very channels of thought, the road
to understanding, the gateway - to
richer, deeper enjoyment of life.
Yet 80 per cent of the ohildren
of America have little opportunity
to know more than the textbooks '
they are given In school. In some
areas books are everywhere like
the fabulous -wealth of the Indies,
they spill over Into the school
library, the public library the
bookstores colorful, fascinating,
easily accessible to all. It la the
in nt Rank Week, whose national
-headquarters are at .62 West- 45th J
street, imw iur "
tend each year this accessibility of
books to more and more communi
ties; to make all of us aware of
the value of books lif the healthy,
happy, growth ot our children; to
make us take stock ' of our com
munity from the point of view of
this accessibility of books to chil
dren. v" - v-
; Have we paid enough attention
to our library? Have wo libraries
for "free -reading''- in our sehoolsT
Are there enough bookstores to
serve properly - our, community?
We'd do something quickly enough
If there were not enough grocery
or drugstores to serve our needs.,.
Let us be sure there are enough
sources of supply - libraries and

dren with the kind of food that
will help os build the better world
we must have for out civilization
