"HAPPY is THE CHILD
WITH BOOKS"

The fourth annual CHILDREN'S
BOOK WEEK will be held Novem-
Der 18th to 18th, 1922. Libraries,
mothers clubs, schools, churches,
scout organizations, and other or
CARNATIONS concerned with children,
each year take the opportunity of
this week to emphasize the impor-
lance of books for boys and girls.
Exhibits of books to buy for child
rem, discussion of books children
really like to read, distribution of
books for young people, considera-
ton of authors and illustrators who
are devoting their talents to child
ren's books-these are some of the
features of CHILDREN'S BOOK
WEEK in various communities.
Each year over million children
come to reading age. what books
shall we buy for our childrsn?" is
question every parent should en-
deavor to solve conscientiously.
The schools teach the children to
read, the library gives opportunity
to boys and girls for forming the
habit of reading and for develop
ing good taste in books. A grow
ing appreciation of the importance
of children's reading is marked in
the bookstores, and the book pub
fishers of the country are leading
the world in the production of in
teresting and beautiful books for
boys and girls. The books that
actually go into the forming of the
child's own library are the ones
that form his growing taste. His
ability to use books for informa-
ton and for pleasure when he is
grown older, depends on his acquir-
ing the habit of reading when he
is child.
The Ely High School Library is
planning a much bigger program
this year than that of last wear.
There will be CHILDREN'S
READING ROOM at the Commun-
ity Center where beautiful child
ren's books will be displayed. These
will be available for the boys and
girls to read after school until six
o'clock. From TOO to 900 P. M.
the books will be on display for
the inspection of those interested.
Miss Franklin will be there to
answer questions and to recommend
books suitable for purchase. Spe-
cial programs are being arranged.
The CHILDREN BOOK WEEK
committee is offering prizes for
photographs which the children ex-
hibit of their own libraries. Mr..
Antilla has also promised three
local prizes: We have some child
ren's Libraries in Ely of which we
are justly proud. We may get into
the running for a national prize
while we are trying for the local
one. These photographs will be
on exhibit in the CHILDREN'S
READING ROOM during book week
and should be in Mr.. Antilla's
hands by November LIST.
