AND WHAT II is DOING

The American Library Association
was established forty four years ago
and is an organization made up of
1000 librarians, VAIL working to bring
good books to the public and the
public to good books When the war
came our government requested the
Association to take charge of furnish
ing reading matter to the army, the
navy and the marine corps, and to
all who had any part in the war, at
home or abroad. Soon librarians ap-
peared quietly and unostentationsly,
with branches in the Red Cross
houses and in the huts of the Knights
of Columbus, the Y. NJ. c. A, the
Y W c. A., the jewish Welfare
Board, the Salvation army and the
War Camp Community Service.
Every arm of the United States ser
vice was supplied with books for
recreation as well as books for study,
Books were carried close to the front
line trenches and into the rest areas
over 100000 volumes were distrib
uted by the association of library
workers. Just pause a moment and
think what this service must have
meant to the men in France. on the
transports. in the HOSPITALS to say
nothing of the men detailed in camps
on this side. There are men today
using the libraries of the country
who never realized the pleasure and
profit from a book, as thousands OF
