Northeast Library Marks 10th Year

Quiz: When is book more than
a book?
Answer-When it's operating out
of a public library.
Our city library's Northeastern
branch-which is celebrating its
10th anniversary this week.-Mrs.
proved that point. If you step into
the handsome Georgian building at
Maryland avenue and Seventh
street NE, you will see some ex-
hibits showing how a collection OF
good books can serve a community.
One chart shows that if you we're
to pile the books borrowed from
the branch each week, one on top
of the other, you would get stack
$50 feet high. That's 95 feet taller
than the Washington Monument.
The books go round and round.
Though many in the library collec-
ton are reference works, which
never leave the building, the aver
age adults book circulates seven
times year, and the average clild'S
book four times, an exhibit demon
Strates.
Money Voted by Congress.
A map shows that the 43,10l
volumes in the branch collection
would, laid end to end, reach 54
miles-or from the library building
to Cottage City. Md. But their
circulation power would carry the
line of books nearly to Baltimore
1t was on March II. 1882, that
the keys to the Northeastern
branch we're handed to the library
trustees. This was the first Wash
ington library building paid for
through congressional appropria-
ton. Money had previously come
from Andrew Carnegie and his es-
tate.
From tomorrow through Friday

events at the branch. There will
be speech-making, book reviews
and an evening with the Victrola."
Meanwhile. the library will carry
on its regular work-which is now
centered largely on giving out in
formation related to the war.
Typical War Queries.
Here are typical war queries posed
at the library:
An Air Corps applicant asks for
texts on advanced mathematics.
A woman Red Cross worker wants
a nursing encyclopedia and books on
anatomy.
A member of the Army military
police asks for volume on jiu-jitsu.
A reader asks for an account Of
Jewish persecution through modern
history.
A Government employe and his
family who are being dispatched to
South America ask for a book on
living conditions there.
A man asks for information on
the Negro's place in the war pro-
gram.
A girl wants poems on war themes.
