THE ATHENAEUM
Children's Corner at the Library Was
Made for Increasing
Patrons

The increasingly large number of
children who come to the library
has made necessary setting aside a
corner of the delivery room for THEN
use. The books for the boys and girls
are now arranged in the two alcoves
at the west end of the room, with spe-
cial shelves for "fairy tales" 'Indian
Tales" Books for Littlest Readers, u
and "Books for Clean Fingers"
Smaller chairs and low table with
magazines and picture books, screen
covered with pictures and pictures
hung around the fire place help to
make an attractive corner.
A recent effort to increase the
number of small readers, resulted in
81 little folks under nine years of
age registering for library cards the
first four days, with new accessions,
each day since. Special plans to awak-
en- the interest of the boys and girls in
the library have increased the circula-
tion about 450 volumes month MAX
ing a monthly average of more than
1900 books taken by the children.
The library welcomes to it's Children's
Corner every boy and girl in st.
