PIT. Associations
Stimulate Interest In
Rural School Libraries

Parent-Teacher Associations quite
generally have been leading agencies
in promoting various phases OF edu-
cational work Such organizations
in Delaware. Minnesota and New Jer-
sey are cooperating with State educa-
tional and library authorities in stim-
ulating an interest in libraries in ru-
raj schools. In 1929 the Della
ware State department of education
adopted the slogan, a library OF 2o
books in . proper case for every ru-
raj school" when the ParentTeacher
Associations of the State undertook
the task Of seeing this accomplished.
The State superintendent reports that
every school in Delaware now, has a
library with at least 25 books. and
that number Of volumes per school is
being increased at the rate of to %
a year. During the year 1923-2l
over 5000 books were added To the
Delaware rural school libraries. OF
this number about 1900 were pur-
chased through the efforts of the Pa
rent Teacher Associations.
Efforts TO create interest in better
libraries for rural and elementary
schools by the Parent-Teacher Asso-
Citations in Minnesota resulted in an
increase of State aid given for this
purpose to the amount of approx
mately $4,000 a biennium.
The Burlington County, New Jer-
sey, Parent-Teacher Association is
for a county library law
in that State under which six coun-
ties have established county libraries. |
Efforts to extend rural school library
service are being carried on by Pa |
Associations through
out the State at the present time.
