more difficult to find a bad book in the
Birmingham public library than a bad
friend in one of the churches of the city.
The good influence, the uplift toward
mental and moral and spiritual and ply
sical development which is welded in
birmingham by the public library system
is limited only by the ratio between its
supply of good books and the people who
read them. That ratio now is sadly out
of proportion. The library receives moth
ing from the city or county except its
actual maintainance 1t has no funds for
new books and no method of raising any,
1t has no funds for improvements or self
development of any kind in itself. 1t has
to depend upon the support of the general
public.
The library board recently placed in
charge of the library system by the city
government under Commissioner Wealth
erly is now quietly appealing to those
whom they consider friends of the IL
brary, for this support. If you're not
a friend, why not?

BOOKS AS REAL FRIENDS

1t has often been said that we are as
responsible for what we read as for what
we do There is no doubt but that the
choice of books is a serious business. No
one will attempt to deny that the choice
of friends is serious business, that it
means much to the influences that are to
control your life. But If the choice of
friends is an important and serious act,
what about the choice of the books you
read?
The Birmingham public library is not
only place to get books, but it is a
place to get good books. 1t is safe to say
that no person is going to get a book
from the public library that will injure
the character. Probably the safest place
for an individual to make friends would
be at church and Sunday school, and
yet 1t can easily be realized that wolves
