tale of magic and enchantment or
an account of the latest rocket
ship. 1t is the hope of the COM
mittee to place a new book on the
shelf each week; if you have any
or desire book,
please leave the name of the book
with the librarian, Miss Louise
Denney. 1t is your shelf; your en-
joyment of these books, the num-
ber of teen-age readers who use
the shelf will be the guide for the
future. They hope to cater to all
interests. Many grown-ups will
find most of these books more en-
joyable than some of the modern
fiction. The list follows: The
Broad Highway, by Jeffery Farm

Rachel Field; A City of Bells, by
Elizabeth Goudge; The Prisoner of

Mansions, by w. H. Hudson; The

TEEN-AGE BOOK SHELF ADDED
TO SMYRNA'S PUBLIC LIBRARY

The book committee of the

take a forward step this week
with the opening of a Teen-Age
Book Shelf at the Smyrna Public
Library on Friday evening, June
IA. Books will be available there
after each Tuesday and Friday
evening from $50 to s o'clock. 1t
is the desire of the committee to
give the teen-agers some worth
while standard books, fiction, and
history, for their enjoyment thru
the summer months. Realizing the
Importance of the choice of books
for youth, and not depending upon
their own knowledge, they have
been guided by the advice of May
Lamberton Becker, critic and re-
viewer of books for teen-agers of
the New York Herald Tribune, and
also the book list for boys and
girls found in Treasure for the
Taking, by Anne Thaxter Eaton,
who for many years has been asso-
ciated with the Lincoln School of
Teachers College, Columbia Uni
versity. Miss Eaton in her for
word says: "Signposts on the high
way are no substitute for jour
ney, and by the same token list
of books suggested for children's
reading can be no substitute for
the books themselves. For child
ren, the journe, ,y-that is, the
