''THE DAILY WORKER Of Feb
1ruary 27th," writes the Browns
vile Workers School, 'gives an &C
count Of the great difficulty that
the Cleveland school is having in
the establishment of a library and
the collection of books for the Ii
brary. Inasmuch as the Browns
vile Workers School was able to
collect over one thousand books,
pamphlets and magazines, with very
little difficulty, we feel that our ex-
perience will be helpful.
First, posters, placed in strategic
spots such as the section head
quarters Of the Party, announced
the opening of the library and the
need for books. Second, appeals
for books were made at the Sunday
forums Third, through the org.
letters to the units, Party and z.
G. L. members were acquainted with
school library needs. Fourth, mem
bers Of temporary organization
who represented mass organizations
in our territory assisted in the col
lection Of books from their organi-
cations. Fifth, individuals who were
known to have good Marxist-Len-
mist libraries were approached for
contributions. Sixth, comrades were
sent to the National Office of various
mass organizations. which con-
tributed back files Of their various
magazines. For example, the
Friends Of the Soviet Union con-
tributed complete back files of their
magazine, Soviet Russia Today H..
"In order to buy the eight volume
set Of Lenins Works, a drive was
made in the classes to have each
student contribute three cents.
AT a conference last week, the
Friends of the Workers School set
itself as one of its main tasks-or-
ganizing the collection of more
literature"
