Books For Troops
Alter three months of appealing for books, gathering them in and separating them into several grades of sheep and goats, the War Library Service regards itself as being equipped with some useful knowledge about What to Expect trom Book Drives. It has been greatly encouraged by the substantial number of g00d books given, disappointed and at times hindered by the amount of rubbish, It believes that New Zealanders have books, clean and in good condition, which are no longer being used in their present places ‘of rest, and which would be far more useful in a Military Camp Library, with a Detence Unit, or on a_ troopship. The amount of good giving has given a clue to the existence of resources still rich, still almost untapped. Label your parcel " Books for Troops," and take it to your public library, or send it to the Country Library Service, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.
