discussed for the Ell Centre branch
National League of American Per
Women, by Miss Eleanor Heimark
BraWley librarian, at the meeting
Tuesday in Calipatria, Mrs. C. A
Sperry entertaining the group al
her home with Mrs. w. A. Nc
Fadden and Mrs. Ross Streva as CO.
hoSteSscS.
Miss Heimark, presented by Mrs
McFadden. stated that the books
in greatest circulation today fall
into three main classifications
books of travel, books by correspon-
dents and narrative of heroism and
daring.
Books of travel arc more in de-
mand than ever before, she said, as
civilians desire to learn something
Of the country into which members
Of their families have been sent by
the various branches of the armed
forces. Alaska, Africa Europe,
and the entire area of the South
Pacific are the regions in which the
library borrowers are most in
tereSted
Books by the various war cor
respondents are also in great de-
mand, beginning with some of the
earlier books, as Shirer's Berlin
Diary" to the more recent account
and tales of heroism as "They Were
dependable" (William l.. White)
share in popularity.
Men in the service seem most in
terested in scientific books = the
BraWley library had to increase its
volumes in this field tremendously
and in good fiction, but are less
interested in the books by cor
respondents and the narratives
concerning the exploits of their fell
low members in the armed forces.
In each division Miss Heimark
reviewed briefly outstanding ex-
amples. adding to the interest in
her review.
AT the business meeting all Of
fiCerS were reelected the branch
voting to keep its organization in
tact and schedule meetings for the
year to come according to existing
conditions. There will be no more
meetings until November.
At the conclusion of the program
Mrs. Sperry and Mrs. McFadden
served tea to the members and
