-lIsE oE rAE LIBRARY.

(By Mrs. J Al Thompson, Librarian) /
DR. Bostwick of ST. Louis has pre-
pared an interesting statement about
the increased patronage Of public IL
braries during periods Of financial de-
preston. It is a fact that people turn
to the libraries for material to inn
prove their earning power when times
are dull Also, the reading rooms are
pleasant places for free recreation
when expensive amusements are oat
OF the question. For these reasons il
has been argued that hard times mas
be blessing in disguise, by leading
the people to self-improvement, and
10 form a taste for sane recreations.
Chiekashas library patronage mas
been no exception to the rule While
our threatened calamity Of drogths has
not brought hardship to compare win
the shutdowns and strikes Of manu-
featuring communities, still the class
Of books called for here indicates that
the people are thinking Of the future.
Every kind Of vocational literature is
in demand woodworking, electrical
and engineering texts, irrigation ra-
pers and every phase Of industrial and
technical education. Requests for
books for serious study have increased
one hundred per cent during the past
two years, and the people are getting
the habit, so they win keep il up aftel
the rains come. And the purely recre
ational reading performs an important
function during these strenuous times
when a bright, sparkling, though sim
pie story may relax the mind lnr
