Library Fund Logical Way to Provide Books
Good Books constitute one of the few comforts of home which relatives and friends can provide for the men in the United States service. This Library War Fund offers a definite way by which these books can be provided. Cities desirous of furnishing books for their own men and boys in the army and navy have investigated direct methods but found administrative gaps, high costs, and poor reach. Publishers will offer big price reductions, the government will aid transportation, and the American Library Association is organizing a system to serve service members continually. Substantial appropriations are planned by cities, libraries, corporations, and individuals through the War Service Committee of the American Library Association. Donate to any local committee member or send checks to Miss Helen M. Crane.
