MILLIONS OF BOOKS, THE STORY OF YOUR LIBRARY

by Marshall McClintock,'26, The Vanguard Press, 1941, p. 95. $1.75.

THIS IS A BOOK for children, not too young, explaining what libraries are all about, how they work, how to use them. There is not too much detail, and plenty of "reader interest." The author knows his stuff—he might be a librarian himself, so free is the book from the false notes of the usual journalist job. If the American Library Association did not subsidize the writing, it missed a bet, for it would be hard to frame a more persuasive document to back up a campaign for larger funds for libraries.
