The next area Of attack on dis

b. on that non-institutional COM
munity education program repre-
sented by the pubic library. Pub
he libraries are maintained In
every city and many Of the larger
villages. They offer collateral ed
ucation and resource material for
students In school, and continue
ton work for persons out of

opportunities for employment TO
citizens qualified for library staff
work.
Notoriously In most Southern
cities Negroes are excluded from

public library building, They are
usually provided with q dinky In

branch library is q joke when
