Books for Soldiers
"Three and a-half million" books were given in the spring of 1918, when the second of the three American wartime "book drives" was conducted; The mere thought of three and a-half million books overwhelms one. But with our population, we need contribute only fifty thousand to beat that record. A mere bagatelle — but a usefully round number with which to start our library service to camps. Go through your shelves to-day! Label your parcel " Library Service, Military Camps"; take it to your Public Library or send it to the Country Library Service, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.
