Guide: “This little stream disappears in the middle of the town and comes up again at the inn in the next village.” Tourist: “Ah, just like my husband.” Passers-by will have noticed that a showcase containing the wrappers of books has been placed outside the Canterbury Public Library, on Cambridge Terrace. The librarian. (Mr E. J. Bell) said that this was in conformity with the most modern ideas of library practice. He has seen similar displays abroad. Some libraries had special windows where books were displayed to attract attention; this, of course, was made impossible by the structure of the Canterbury Public Library, and it was necessary to adopt the next best thing in the form of the present showcase. It' was intended later that books as well as wrappers should be placed in the case.
