BOOKS FOR MILITARY CAMPS
* This appeal was broadcast last week from all National Stations. If you did not hear it then, read it now "A man must read, even in a military training camp. The soldiers in our camps need books — good books — just as all of us do, but they are less fortunate than others who have books in their homes or who can borrow from a library. "There are libraries in the camps, but they have few books — as yet. However, they will soon have books if you, personally, make a generous response to this appeal. "Receiving organisations--are waiting to rush them to camps immediately to satisfy the demand, already urgent. Those books that you have read, still as good as new, lying idle on your shelves, send them now! Not old magazines and tattered books, fit only for the scrap heap, but books which have a long life ahead of them. Do your part! Give books to the troops. "The Librarians in the four main towns, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, are prepared to assist. The Librarian of each public library is ready to receive gifts of magazines and books for the camp library service. "You may be sure that every book received will be used to the best advantage and be properiy cared for. The whole of the organisation is in the hands of the Government Country Library Service. Make up a parcel straightaway and send it to your public library. Label it ‘Books for Military Camps,’" *
