four library buildings have been, or
are being erected in the main camps.
Trained and experienced librarians
have been put in charge at these
camps to organize and conduct the
library service. The smaller camps,
posts and forts, and the naval stations
and vessels are being supplied with
books and magazines through their
chaplains, 7. M. G. A. and Knights
Of Columbus secretaries. Plans have
been made for 'the supplying of, books
to the men on board transports and
for the shipment Of books to France.
Description OF the Libraries.
The thirty-four buildings erected
were made possible by a grant of
100000 from the Carnegie corpor-
atom. They r forty feet wide and
vary in length from 90 to 100 feet.
They will accommodate from 10000
to $1,000 volumes. and from M hum
dred and fifty to two hundred and fifty
readers. The buildings r simple in
design and construction. but are
rather more attractive, both inside
and out. than the other camp build
Portable chairs-not benches like most
camp buildings-and provide a quiet,
restful place for reading and study.
The library building houses the
central or main library. Every Y. M.
c. A. and K. c. building, every z. w.
c. A. hostess house ana every base
hospital reading room in all these
camps is a branch Of the A. l.. A.
camp library. Daily delivery OF
books. magazines and newspapers are
made to these branches and deposit
stations by an American Library as
ISOLATION camp library automobile.
Headquarters of the A. L.. A. wal
service are in the library Of congress
DR.. Herbert Putnam, librarian Of
