LAST MONTH AT YOUR
LIBRARY
I!v Elizabeth I.. Vtkinson
“A little knowledge is a dun-
gerous thing," said Alexander
Tope in his Essay on Criticism, but
this month your library has proof
that our clientele is trying to al-
leviate'this condition. The month
of February, with its numerous
celebrations, birthdays and special
weeks t rought many visitors to see
us. Our welcome mat was waiting,
because we always enjoy company
The twelfth grade class of Wood-
ville High School, under the direc¬
tion of Mrs. Thelma Lee, was one
of the grouns that visited us dur¬
ing Negro History Week. Many of
the students requested application
c ards and became registered Car¬
negie borrowers: Thanks to this
class for sending our library pa¬
trons list to soaring heights this
month. We wish to convey out
fondest congratulations to Mrs
Lee on having been chosen the
outstanding teacher at Woodville.
The “pitter-patter” of little fee*
in our children’s room is always
music to our ears. The depart¬
ment is a regular bee hive when
school is out and Miss Kirkland,
our children’s librarian, is sur
rounded with little eager heavers
who are charging out and return¬
ing our beautiful children’s hooks
There has been quite a revolution
in design and publication in the
children’s look field. New sci¬
entifically tested material called
Pyroxylin is being used to make
children’s hooks more durable so
that they can withstand the wear
and tear to which they are sub¬
jected. We are proud of our chil-
dren’s collection but we would en¬
joy having your opinion.
Mrs. Evelyn Lockhart and Miss
Corinne Williams of Paulsen
Street School brought their
classes to visit our Children’s
Room. Our location warrants fro
quent visits from the pupils and
teachers of Paulsen.
We have had wonderful co-oper¬
ation from the teachers there on
using our state classroom collec¬
tions.
Speaking of state classroom col¬
lections; some of our teachers are
unaware of the fact that we have
groups of hooks that can he bor¬
rowed to supplement classroom
texts. In this vein, Carnegie sends
orchids to Mrs. Ayler Lovett and
her teachers at West Savannah
School for their 100 per cent co¬
operation in the use of our state
books.
