BETTER CITIZENSHIP AIM OF
 LIBRARY ASSOCIATION DRIVE

These are the aims of the Am erican Library Association which has inaugurated Books for Every body program and in so doing has enlisted the solid support of it's four thousand members. The move, ment is the most important in the forty years of the A, L. As useful existence The association will re- quire two million dollars to carry on the work of it's enlarged pro gram.
 The needs of the blind are great and the provisions to serve theEl woefmly inadequate. The A. l.. A. will remedy. this. In this one in stance alone, the treasure trove of good literature will be opened to | 75,000 blind in the United States. | The association will advocate and assist with it's counsel and influence | the extension of the County library system which will bring about the | circulation of books to every camp, cannery and mine in the country. Books now being furnished by | the American Library Association, are circulated to the most distant parts of the world on board the ships of the United States merchant marine. In carrying out its en- larged program the association will advocate the extension of the in. dustrial plant library system, which it is believed in many quarters will go long way towards solving the industrial unrest through the appli- cation of the books as tools" idea.
 It is now meeting the needs Of the Coast Guard and Lighthouse Service and hospitals of the United States Public Health Service as well as continuing service to former sol diers and sailors who have learned to appreciate the value of books through the A. L. A. efforts in the training camps and overseas.
