I .Wellington children... arc not to bo compared with their Sydney cousins. Their poverty is not often so extreme, their training is different, and probably a.lanje proportion of theni have access to libraries in public schools or Sunday schools. But the extent to which the Newtown Library Chidlrcn's Department'is'patronised, shows their eagerness for good reading, and it must bo remembered that the Nowtown Library can after all tap only a very small portion of the town. There isplenty, of room for sorcral group libraries if people could bo found willin;; to give their .time to them. It would only take one'hour a week, and it is an ideal occupation for a young intelligent girl or older lady of leisure. There is room for one at least ■in Tory Street, Lower .Taranaki Street, Pipitea Street, Roseneath, Mitchelltown, and parts.of Newtown. It should not ho a difficult matter to get the books from children who liavo outgrown them. : 1
