The American Library Association has
done very important work in keeping the
uoldiers and sailors supplied with reading
matter. 1t has placed in service more than
five million books contributed in this coun-
try. has purchased more than two million,
and, notwithstanding this and the fact that
the books Of the abandoned camps were
promptly put into use elsewhere, there has
never been a sufficient supply for the needs
of the men in uniform.
Men are now reading who never read be-
fore in their lives. They have got the habit.
Libraries have been opened in hundreds Of
camps, naval and marine stations, and
branches have been established in Y. NJ. C..
A., Jewish Welfare and X Of G. huts, and in
barracks and mess halls.
The loss through waste is much greater
than in an ordinary library. One can un-
derstand how this should be the case, as n
soldiers usage Of books would necessarily be
rough. AS result of the submarines, hun
dreds OF boxes of books were lost and never
reached the other side.
Last year the Library Association COL
lected three million volumes and raised
nearly two million dollars by subscription.
This year three-fourths of a million books
are needed before July l.

The transports need books. The A. l.. A.
has established libraries on all transports
leaving the United States, but it has never
been able TO supply the homebound ships
with reading matter.
The War and Navy Departments have
found libraries so useful that they have
decided TO establish book service for every
unit in permanent Naval and Military forces
Of the United States. This means that IL
