BOOKS FOR EVERYBODY
GOAL OF GREAT DRIVE
Even the Blind Remembered in Move
A. l.. A. Starts to Supply Books
to All Public.
By Nettie Murphy Wilson.
librarian, State NORMALLY

Have you heard of the A. L. A. and
its proposed enlarged program for the
next three years? There are 60000,-
900 peopel in America who have no
access to libraries of any kind. Have
you a public library in your home
town or near it?
The American Library Association
is undertaking to raise 100000 with
which to attempt to place books with
in the reach of these 60,000,000 peo-
pie. Many shelves behind glittering
mahogany bars, which once held rows
of variagated bottles are now begin
ming to hold rows of good books. The
former saloon is becoming in many
instances, the corner library, through
the work of the A. L. A. Book wag-
ems are being sent out through many
rural districts so that the farmers
and inhabitants of the rural towns
may have chance at the best OF
books. Brnch libraries are being es.
tablished in the schoolhouses through
out country as distribution points for
the books.
There are $4,000 blind people in the
United States, including American
soldiers, who lost their sight in the
war. The A. L. A. will bring about
a greater production of books in uni
form type. for the sake of these $4,000
who are denied the freedom of liter
allure.
The sailors on the seas, the keepers
of the light houses and the inmates
of all charitable institutions will be
helped by this enlarged program
These are some of the things which
the American Library Association
proposes to do with the 100000.
