Practical Charity Libraries Build Bright Homes
The article outlines charity organization societies expanding beyond benevolence, highlighting Boston home libraries where a child librarian manages a wall library in a poor family. Weekly visits from a Children's Aid Society reader foster discussion, with books ranging from fairy tales to travel histories. The program aims to develop reading, responsibility, and family uplift through organized, shared reading habits.
