Maine State Library Exhibit
A real treasure trove of good things
to read was the exhibit of books from
the Maine State Library such as are
sent abou in the travelling libraries
all over the State. The collection oc-
cupied a prominent place in the cor
ridor from the Senate Chamber and
the delegates as they hustled to and
from the meetings. Books of such
practical nature as to appeal to any
mother, housewife, jack of all trades
and the children, are included in the
display. For instance, a book on
spices, struck the reporters eye. as
being some valuable book for around
picking time. Then there are mag
azines which tell how to build houses
them so; also books on gardening and
everything that makes life livable.
