PUBLIC LIBRARY TO AID
IN CHRISTMAS SELECTIONS
Book Catalogues Available to Make
Choice of Gifts Less
Difficult.

People who have not done their Christ
mas shopping early will find the problem
of eleventh-hour selection a good dea
for people of bookish tendencies, If they
consult the Christmas book catalogue col
lection displayed at the Public Library,
says an announcement from the library.
Following plan which has proved very
popular for a good many years the
library has obtained supplies of the
Christmas catalogues issued by all the
leading publishing houses. One copy of
each of these catalogues may be seen in
the reference room on the main floor OF
the building. The library has extra
copies of all the catalogues which may
be obtained on application at the ref
erence room desk. The chief difficulty in
selection is always the process of elimina-
ton, and many people have taken ad-
vantage of this opportunity offered by
the library to learn something about the
books of the season and thus to MAKE
the problem of selection in the crowded
stores much easier because of having
formed in advance a general idea of the
books they wish to examine
Any one who is looking for books suit
able for children, it is declared, will find
in the children's room Of the library a
model collection of some of the best
books for children, some in we'll illustI dt-
ed moderately expensive. editions and
others in cheaper but good and attrac-
tive editions, and also a list of Books
for Child's Library" The attendants
In the childrens room are glad to give
any help they can in the way of advice
and suggestion.
