New Demands
Conditions brought about by
new demands on the city's library
facilities are outlined a. follows:
Not only has our book stock
been depleted by seven lean years.
but we are faced with urgent,
heavy and immediate new de-
mands to meet the needs Of the
new national defense program.
The courtesies Of the Tacoma Pub
lie library have always been en-
tended to the officers and men Of
Fort Lewis. We are now offering
the same privileges 10 those at
McChord field. Personnel at Fort
Lewis viii he increased during
the coming year by approximately
$4,000 national guardsmen and
1000 regular troops.
The entire force at McChord In
in addition to present demands
and they are registering In large
numbers and taxing our resources
not only in aviation but along all
lines from poetry to cattle breed
ing.
Wanted nj McChord
The chaplain at McChord field
has applied for a deposit of a.
many books as we can spare to
be located and cared for at the
field.
The methods in use at the Sc
attic and Tacoma Shipbuilding
company are 30 new that nothing
about them for the workman has
been in print until August 1910.
The library has purchased two
copies Of the book. 1t should buy
two dozen copies or more and
duplicate heavily on books on
welding and allied subjects 80 that
collection could be provided for
the men at the yards. The educs-
tionsl director of the company
would assume responsibility.
Facts are the only effective
weapons against propaganda. The
scene shifts so rapidly that the
library must provide many copies
of a book quickly to make 1t ef-
fective."
