Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from War Service of the American Library Association If you visit one of the large training camps today - Cantonment or National Guard - you will ¿nd at the center of it a library; an attractive building, with a collection of ten or ¿fteen thousand books, and accommodations for nearly two hundred readers. It is a cheerful building, an inviting building, amply lighted by day, brightly lighted by night, Well warmed in the chilly season, sometimes with the addition of an open ¿re - well aired in every season. The books are readable books, and they are on open shelves, directly accessible, Without formality. They may be freely used on the premises - freely taken for reading elsewhere on being properly charged. And if you enter a Y. M. C. A. hut or Knights of Columbus building you will see other shelves of the same sort of books - subsidiary collections supplied from the central library - which similarly may be read or freely drawn for reading in mess hall or barrack. You may even ¿nd such subsidiary collections in the mess halls or barracks themselves. You will ¿nd them in the Base Hospitals and the Convalescent Houses.
