“LEST WE FORGET”

LIBRARY LEAGUE ANNUAL MEETING The eighth annual- meeting of the Alayoress War Alemorial Library League was held in the Town Hall last evening, when the Mayoress, Airs. A. * D. Campbell, presided over a good attendance of members. Mrs. Arroll, the hon. treasurer, presented the financial statement. The ! total income for the year ending March. 21 was £ 329 ISs lid. This amount included donations from the Patriotic Leagu’e of £l5O and the Civic League of £5. The jumble sale and a “bring and buy” sale held during the year had brought in £36 11s Sd and £l7 4s 7d respectively*. The expenditure for the year had. been £156 16s. During the year a total of 1.616 parcels and 17 cases had been dispatched to various places at a cost of £24 19s 4d. Airs. Campbell, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the league on the splendid work of the * past year and made special mention of the very much-appreciated donations of the Patriotic and Civic Leagues'. It was very heartening to receivo such support and it was to be hoped that the donations would continue to be a source of help in the future. The number of appeals for move literature was increasing steadily*, so that it was becoming necessary for the league to find ways of supplementing its income. It was thought that more publicity* as to the splendid work done might encourage more outside financial assistance. Reports received from the various sub-committees of the league were then read. These included the St. John Ambulance, the Civic League, the Philanthropic Committee, the Alissions to Seamen, the Grammar Old Girls’ Association, the Query* Club, the Y.WVC.A., the W.C.T.U., and the reports of the special workers in the back blocks districts, who are supplied with old school readers, story books and illustrated papers for distribution among the school children, and books and magazines for the adults. These are always acknowledged most ' gratefully by* the school teachers. The reports were all records of the excellent work carried out by* the commit- ’ tees during the past year and showed how very extensive the activities of the league have become. Since the inception of the league to ’ date there have been issued: 18.390 hard-bound, books: 32,918 magazines: : 2,690 children’s books; 428 school , books; 1,521 scrap books: 2,333 minia- ' ture scrap books; 1,124 calendars; ‘ 3.247 good cards, and 9,090 renovated old cards* This is a good indication of the far-reaching work of the league. * Niue, Norfolk. the Rarotongan Group, Vavau and the islands under : the Samoan Administration had all 1 been remembered and had been sent L books and parcels of toys at Christmas time. > A discussion was held after the : adoption of the report and balance- ‘ sheet as to ways and means of raist ing funds to further the work of the 1 league. It was finally decided to hold a garden fete at *the end of September and active measures were taken to get the work afoot.
