INCREASE In
SCHOOL LIBRARIES

At a meeting Of the state Library
Commission, held in Dover recently, the
report Of the librarian showed that six
teen of the ffty-five travelling Libraries
belonging to the commission were scat
tered throughout the State This is
twice as many as were in circulation
in September, 1905. The demand for
these travelling libraries is thus shown
TO be on the increase.
During the winter it is impossible to
supply all the demands. These librar-
les consisting OF collections of from 30
to so books, are sent out to day schools
Sunday schools, clubs. oranges, and to
any group of persons who may ask for
them. and agree TO take proper care
OF them. The State assumes the cost
Of transportation so that the cost to
the borrowers is nothing. Those sun
day schools that have used these IL
braries have been pleased with them'
and it is, indeed, a fine opportunity for
Sunday school superintendents and
teachers to give to their pupils the best
Of modern literature. The books in each
library have been selected with much
care, and eat collection contains a
very large lares number OF books suit
able for children. Those who are in
terested would Go Ovell TO write di-
rectly to the State Library Commission
Dover. for further particulars.
