CAMP AIGN FOR
WAR LIBRARY
Week of Sept. 24-0Ct. ! Set
For Time of WhirI-
wind Drive.

Instructions have been received
by the local librarian, Josephine
Andrews. from the war council OF
the American library association at
Washington, -. g.. that "a nation
wide campaign is TO be conducted
by the Libraries TO raise a one mill
lion dollar war library fund 70 pro-
vide books. magazines. circulating
libraries and librarians TO supply
reading materials for the soldiers
and sailors in each training camp.
cantOnment, on board ship, at field
headquarters, at rest billets and
even to men in the second line
trenches. II is pointed out by the
library war council that the fellow
who stays at home can give to no
better cause than that of furnishing
good reading material 10 occupy the
idle time of soldiers, TO give relief
from the grind Of military restraints,
keep up the morale. strengthen re-
sistance against loneliness and home
sickness and furnish some of the
wholesome pleasure necessary to
combat dissipation. There is moth
ing asked for so much by the men
at the front as good books and mag
azines. They do not want OLD books
and the magazines which clutter up
the attic. but fresh books and maya
zines.
The week of Sept. 24-Oct. / has
been designated for the campaign TO
be held for this purpose. and the To-
cal organization TO be headed by
Miss Andrews. city librarian. will be
perfected early this week. The war
library council estimates that ST.
600, 600 is needed for this work
Their plan is 10 buy fresh, clean
books and magazines and transport
them TO the various army and naval
cantonments and stations through
out the country and in France. en-
ploy skilled men librarians and
build a temporary library at each
Of those stations and camps The
appOrtiOnment TO each city is five
percent of the population i'm dollars,
or one dollar for each 90 persons or
five cents for each person. Each
city library throughout the country
is practically drafted into the cam
paign. and it rests squarely upon
the shoulders of each person to do
his bit
1t is pointed out by the war IL
brary council at Washington that
all the leading warning countries in
Europe have fitted out library SER
vice for all their soldiers.
The government cannot furnish
reading materials for the soldiers,
as is the case with many other COM
forts and luXuries for the soldiers,
because every dollar of government
money must be directed TO provid-
ing materials and equipment 10
make efficient fighting men The
importance of this work is en-
phasized by the council, in that it
devOlves upon such voluntary or
CARNATIONS to the caring for the
welfare Of the men when they are
off duty if the men are to return
from the war as good or better men
as they were when they left home
