Sample of a letter which might be written to any one interested in library work, efipeciai us 3 to the people of Ind. , because most of the soldiers in Camp Shelby are drawn from that State. I v/ish to thank you in common with many other people of your State for the support which Ind.. has given to the Camp Library movement. I feel that this is a worthy cause and that it is appreciated by the soldiers. The Camp Library at Camp Shelby has been open- ed for about three and one-half weeks. It is very well patronized by the soldiers. We have in the library about 6000 volumes, one -half of which is fiction and one-half non-fictionj These books cir- culate very rapidly. Our daily circulation runs from 250 to 450 books. In addition to the main library we now have seventeen branches. These branches are in the various Y. M. C. A'., and K of C Buildings and also in some regimental canteens. There are about as many books in the branches and in the Base Hospital as there are In the main li- brary.

Disbursing Officer William L Brown since early in the Pall, so you see we have been supplying the soldiers with books for some time, even before our building was begun. March 18th begins our Nation Wide Campaign for gift books. It will last for one week. You have doubtless received some letters from our head-quart- ers office regarding it. My purpose in writing is to let you know something of the actual conditions in Camp Libraries in order that you may know what is being done with your books. Will you not make an ef- fort to collect good books for the camp libraries and try to exceed the maximum plans of our head- quarters office. There is a great call for books of fiction and good poetry. There is also a great call for tech- nical books, high school and college text and other standard non-fiction works. It has been a pleas- ant surprise to us to find the soldiers so eageri-jr to read serious books. There has been almost as large a circulation of nonfiction as fiction. Only last week I was compelled to purchase at retail, several geometries and algebras for some of the soldiers who were preparing for special examina- tions leading to promotion.

Other material, letters from soldiers and etc. can be used as basis for daily news paperlptories. Most of the news papers are very glad to give us publicity. You can also advertise by posters in prominent places about town and in the library. If I can be of any direct help to you in this matter please write me at once.

March 7, 1918, Dear Illini, First of all I want to thank you for sending the Illini regularly to Camp Shelhy. Every day I look for it and after reading it, guard it rcligously till other members of the tribe get a chance to look at it. There are not many of us here but, believe me, what we lack in numbers we make up in appreciation of anything which reminds us of Illinois. Manager op Camp Libraries Matthew S. Dudgeon Disbursing Officer william L Brown Now for business:- You probably re- member the slight agitation which we made for books last fall. Well, we are out after them again. Only this time, we have some results to show and we know better what ws want. For one week, March 18 to 25 there will be a nation y wide campaign for gift books to be sent to the camp libraries. Illinois ought to lead the bunch in this workl Soldiers want books . In our camp, out of a total of about 14,000 books in stock, over seven hundred are loaned every day. That means that there is a daily turn-over of five percent of our stock. Books may be kept out for two weeks. That means that about seventy percent o f our books are in constant use by the soldiers ! Think it "over. Can the university students show anything like that? Students have the kind of books we need. Of all the books which go out from the Camp Library, nearly half are non-fiction. The men are studying nights. Technic :d books, math books, French and German books,- all these are in great demand. Tell the gang to dig out the text books which they have used and set them to fighting the Kaiser. It is a waste of resources to let good technical books lie around collecting dust when our fighting men are asking for them to increase their fighting power. Books of fiction, good literature of all sorts, biography, poetry, anything that you, yourself like to read is enjoyed also by & •/ * ■ s w * r,U;J flirSUH . * , ... 1c ' I . :2 L. • - -• . ♦ • AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION LIBRARY WAR SERVICE, Washington, D.C. March 8, 1919. NOTES FR O M A MO R ALE OFFICER WHO VISITED SEVERAL CAMPS. "The Camp Library to my mind fulfills one of the most vital needs of the camp. It is a place where our men carl get relaxation and mental stimulus, and where they can feel at ease without the ' God-bless-y ou' at- mosphere of the other welfare organizat ions. ,,, "It is the one place in camp where you can go and have a chance to meditate or read in peace and quiet without a piano jangling in your ears or the imminent possibility of a prayer-meeting interrupting your thoughts," "It is significant that in no camp did I detect a discordant note as regards the library work, and I can frankly say this does not accord with my observations in connection v/ith some of the other welfare organiza- tions. This is of course partially due to the fact that the library work is carried on in a quiet and unobtrusive manner, but more particularly to the unfailing courtesy of the library personnel and their manifest pleasure in doing even the smallest thing to further the contentment of the men." "I believe the Camp Library is potentially one of our strongest factors for morale, and I know the majority of Morale Officers in the various camps will bear me out in this belief," Tnose v/ho are to be held in the Service indefinitely want literatu wnieh i3 entertaining and "which will direct their minds from military affairs" to keep them from growing stale — "fiction and works in lighter- vein." "The second class of men however, those about to receive discharge are generally interested in books on vocational training and commercial subjects. In this work the libraries are cooperating splendidly. In this connection I do not believe the men are taking the advantage of these books they should, or which I would like to see them take. Few of them are aware of the changed conditions in the civilian world and I know it comes as a rude 3hock to some to find out on returning home that things have changed. In camp ,Mr„ has placed a number of these books on a shelf near the door of the library where the men can obtain ready access to them. Two other mediums are offered of course for getting these books before the men; one is putting them, in the barracks and the other is through the Y.M.C.A. which in several camps is conducting classes in vocational education. As this work is under the supervision of the Morale Officer ho is properly the one to work through for this purpose." "To my mind the most important function of the Morale Officer is to act as an advertising medium, so far as concerns library work. In such a camp as this where the library is not located in the civic center, a judi- cious and well directed advertising campaign will accomplish very commendable results. Where the building is not prominent it should bo marked v/ith signs in a very conspicuous manner, either on the roof or the side of the building; ■ *' ■ V . -v l -?A ■i ■ tt riti ) ‘ t ; O.i- j /fit- v t v l.-' ,afiv • :: :vf .'J i ’•.< *< flJil *v> .. . . -i • tJ j x t fi?ao wfl ■atii&lr •jCkJ •»< .• • ■.

This offers an excellent means of disseminat ing information on library work directing attention to new books received or those recommended as of special value," "But the Camp Newspaper (most camps have one) is by far the best. The Morale Officer can always secure such space in this paper as he desires and should make use of inserts on various pages advertis- ing the library and the work it is doing and calling attention to the advantages it offers. An enlisted man informed me recently that he did not even know that a library existed in Camp Blank until he saw our ad in the 'Castle' and I venture to say there are many others in a similar position. If the librarian can find time to write an occasional article either on the library work or on a matter of current interest for in- sertion in the paper it always serves a timely purpose," ’The librarian can be of further great help by offering pertinent suggestions as they may occur to him, either for local conditions or for general morale work; by being frank and free in his criticisms; and by being present at such conferences of the welfare agencies as the morale officer may call ( once a week for example in this this camp)," 3/b/19.

M. C. A., the Red Cross, Knights of Columbus, and Salvation Army, or under the supervision of Chaplains and other officers. What it is trying to do is much more than merely to dump in the camps a haphazard lot of reading matter. It is trying not only to supply carefully selected books in adequate volume, but also to suggest methods for their administration which will get the ut- most possible value from them by conserving them and keeping them in circulation. The procedure outlined, while susceptible of such minor varia- tion as special conditions demand, is the result of wide experience both in library and camp. It has been thoroughly tested, and is the simplest and easiest method of handling the books in an efficient way. Here in France it is especially necessary that these suggestions be carefully followed. Tonnage is scarce and books precious; it is therefore the duty of everyone concerned in their administra- tion to see that they are not carelessly or wantonly treated. No barriers should be raised between the men and the bocks; no deposit should be charged; but the men should be unpressed with the idea that, to play square, they must return all books promptly and in good condition. Experience has shown that no system is as successful as the honor system, when properly applied. To some, the following suggestions may seem needlessly de- tailed ; but the purpose has been to make them so explicit that they could not possibly be misunderstood. A.L.A. books are shipped in special units, which may be stacked together after the fashion of a sectional book-case. Each unit holds about sixty books, and each volume is equipped with a book-card and pocket, so that it may be issued withou* further preparation : EXCEPT this one small detail: 1 ° every lot of books there may be some duplicates. It will be necessary to get together all the duplicates in the allotment for any one point, and number them “Copy 1,” “Copy 2,” and so on. The book-cards must be similarly numbered, in order that it may be possible to tell when a book is returned, which card belongs to it. Or, if preferred, all the books in the collection may be numbered con- secutively, the number being placed on the inside book-cover above the book pocket and also on the card, which will serve to bring book and card together whenever there are duplicates. If it was possible to do this work in advance, it would be done for you ; but it is not possible, as no one can foresee how the units will be combined. 1. The principal object of every recording system is to indi cate who has each book and when it is due. In the camp library system, this is accomplished by means of a book-card, which will be found in a pocket on the inside back cover of every book. It bears at the top the last name of the author of the book, and the book’s title. Beneath are spaces for the name of the man drawing the book, the organization to which he belongs, ana the date upon which the book should be returned. 2. In issuing a book, take the card from the pocket, and enter the man’s name and organization, together with the date. Keep the card and hand the book to the man, who, of course, has seen the entries made and therefore knows there is a record against him. (It is often feasible to permit the men to make their own entries and simply pass in the cards. Certainly it is better to per- mit this than to have the books tied up because there is no one to fill out the cards.) 3. At the end of each day, gather together the cards for the books issued that day, arrange them alphabetically by author, and put them in their proper places in the card file. It takes but a few minutes to do this, and it will be found a great timesaver, because when a book is returned, the card which belongs to it can be found in an instant. In order to keep the cards in proper shape, it will be necessary to have a tray and set of guide-cards. They cannot be furnished at present, and the person who administers the books must devise them. The cards are 3"x5" and must be filed on end : the trav which holds them, therefore, should be about 3%" wide, dee]), and 8" long, inside. A perfectly satisfactory tray can, with a little ingenuity, be made from a cigar-box. A three cornered block behind the cards will keep then; upright. Guide-cards should project j/ 2 " above the book-cards, and should bear on the projections letters A to Z. 4. When a book is returned, look at the author’s name, find the proper book-card in the file, check off the date with a pencil return the card to the pocket and the book to the shelf. The transaction is complete. 5. The time limit will depend somewhat upon the character of the camp. For the present, it is recommended that the standard period of issue be one week, with privilege of renewal for a simi- lar period. This renewal privilege should ordinarily apply onlv to technical books, or books of serious character : it should sel- dom apply to fiction. 6. Every week, then, it will be necessary to run through the cards and pick out those belonging to books which have not been returned on time. There are various ways of getting these books back. A list may be turned over to the top-sergeant of each company, provided the commander’s permission has been secured ; over-due notices may be sent directly to the men with their mail ; a list may be posted on a bulletin-board. In one camp, the Adju- tant issues a notice the first of every month reminding the men to return all books which may be in the barracks. It is for the local administration to choose which method shall be followed — but it should be remembered that this is the crucial test of the system. If it does not get the books back, it is a failure. And in just the degree that it succeeds in getting them back and keeping them in circulation, it is a success. 7. In every shipment will be found placards which should help to get them back. They should be posted conspicuously above the books. There is also a supply of cards and pockets to be used in replacing any which are lost or worn out, and also in providing all the books already on hand with an equipment similar to that in the A.L.A. books, so that all books may be administered in the same way. A further supply of cards and pockets will be furnished upon request. 8. It has been the custom in many places to require the man taking out a book to make a deposit of two or three francs, t > guarantee its return. The American Library Association is firmly opposed to this practice. It feels that no such barrier should be Greeted between the men and the books; if such a barrier is nec- essary, it is because the administration is at fault. The honor system will unquestionably succeed with the right sort of helpful supervision, and where proper care is taken to make the men un- derstand just what is expected of them. 9. No stipulation is made with regard to reports, but the A.L.A. is glad to receive reports of circulation (based upon the number of cards filed each day, which should be counted at the time they are alphabetted), as well as news of every sort about its book service. “Human interest” stories are especially valuable, because they can be used at home in asking for fresh book do- nations. Besides fiction and general literature of a lighter character, such as is included in all the boxes, the A.L.A. is ready to pro- vide, as far as possible, special technical books dealing v\ ith mili- tary subjects. It welcomes requests for special books to fit spe- cial needs,, and is trying to build up at its Paris headquarters a reservoir collection from which all such requests may be prompth filled. It also welcomes suggestions for the improvement of its service and information as to places where books are needed. Its tech- nical knowledge is at the service of everyone requiring it; and it hopes that its Paris headquarters, 10, Rue de l’Elysee, will become the place toward which all members of the A.E.F. who are inter- ested in books will naturally turn. A well equipped reading room is maintained there; for those engaged in research along special lines, the services of a trained reference librarian are available: lists of books on special subjects may be consulted, and in many cases the books themselves examined. If a visit in person is noc posible, a mail inquiry will bring prompt response. Rev. 10-16-18— 5M AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Library War Service Budget Estimate Dec <> 1, 19.18 - Dec. 31, 1919.

L. A. cable that three quarters of a million more books must be sent to them at once if the actual need for reading matter among American soldiers is to be met. After all available books, including possible pur- chases and books from closing camps have been computed, there remains a shortage of nearly half a million volumes. These must be oblained as gifts. Many of the two and a quarter million books that have been sent over have been worn out, or lost through the exigencies of war and transportation. The communications printed here show that the condition is not overstated and that the need is urgent. Cable received January 16th from Burton E. Stevenson, European representative: “Demand for books unbelievably great and supply inadequate; rush all possible shipments.” Cable January 16th from Dr. Herbert Putnam, General Director, now in Paris: “Need most urgent for plentiful supply miscel- laneous fiction, nonfiction, buy freely, hasten ship- ments.” Letter from Mr. Stevenson, January 22nd: "* * * i have already cabled you two or three times concerning the unprecedented demand for books, which are now pouring in upon us. I trust that shipments will be made as large as possible and that no attention will be paid to ton- nage limitations. * * * All of our departments here at headquarters are going full steam ahead. The only discouraging feature in the situation is that our supply of books is lamentably small . Two weeks ago we had over 2000 cases at the warehouse. Today, there are less than 200 cases of miscellaneous books available for distribution. Kerr is out this afternoon seeing if he can pick up ten or fifteen thousand books in the Paris market to tide us over until a further shipment arrives from America.” Cable received February 7th from Mr. Stevenson: "Rush all possible fiction and miscellaneous ship- ments.” Letter from Mr. Stevenson, February 13th: “You will be distressed to know that for the past ten days we have had practically no miscellaneous books available for distribution. We have pur- chased 15,000 copies of Nelson fiction here in Paris, which we are having prepared as rapidly as possible, but this will be, of course, merely a stop-gap. Our service, away last April, started off with this Nelson fiction, but I never expected to have to return to it. The demand for miscellaneous books was never as great as it is now , and we should strive to meet it in every possible way. It is a disappointment to know that the result of your December appeal was so unsatisfactory. I surely trust that you will con- tinue to make the appeal in the larger cities of the United States and try to get it through in some way to the people that the men over here need books more now than they have ever done. It will be at least six months, perhaps a year, before we shall dare to slacken our efforts in this respect.” Cablegram from Dr. Putnam, February 18th: “Urge everything possible to stimulate book and magazine donations. Need never greater than present. At least million more fiction and miscel- laneous books demanded within next six months to maintain army morale.” Letter from Mr. Stevenson, February 27th: "* * * We are going to need, between now and next July, at least three-fourths of a million more of miscellaneous books. Many of these can be secured, I hope, from the camps that are closing up in America; and I trust that you will concentrate all your energies on getting these books through to us as rapidly as you can. The demand for miscel- laneous reading matter is tremendous, and it will probably interest you to know that as a resuH^^P ~ .e advertisement we had last Friday in the ' 'StarWmd Stripes” our yesterday’s mail consisted of at least 1200 letters from men, asking for special books. I am looking for this deluge to continue, and we are struggling to get our Mail Department large enough to deal with it promptly.” Cable received March 15th, from Mr. Stevenson: “* * * Maintain gift and camp library mis- cellaneous and fiction shipments largest possible.” Extract from letter from H. T. Dougherty at Brest, March 5th: “At the present time there are in this district some 70,000 men and considerably less than 7,000 volumes. Since I have been in Brest, but one ship- ment of books has gone through, and from this I snitched 14 out of 39 cases. All other book-bearing ships have gone to ports south of Brest. This is unfortunate for me, and especially for the men here. If you could be at camp as frequently as I am and hear the oft-rep eated call for books — well, you would probably be able to get some somewhere. If you know where that where is, I wish you would shoot along that information. It seems to be my lot to get into territory where books do not grow. You may remember that in Texas it -was necessary to conduct a campaign before I could start a library. Here a campaign is out of the question, but I rely on you fellows back in the. states to send a few. Every few days I take a trip to the wharves, examining the cargo manifests of every incoming steamer, but with one exception have never found a thing. The men there mu«t think it a myth that the A. L. A. actually deals in books. On February 28, the library building at Pontan- ezen was started, and I wired Paris Headquarters that I was ready for books and help. Back comes word that they are sending me 50 cases (3,500) when I hoped it would be about 400 cases, — which I knew they did not have. Extract from letter from Blanche Galloway at Brest, March 21st: "There are 60,000 men in that one camp, and three other camps and two large hospitals crying to be served in this neighborhood. We are giving them all a little, and hoping for more books to serve them better.” Extract from letter from. Esther Johnston at Le Mans, March 3rd.: “To make obvious the opportunity and possibili- ties for the A. L. A. here, I might say that as to the American Embarkation Center, it’s the biggest camp in France, with from 200,000 to 300,000 men camped within its area of 100 square miles. There are innumerable camps, more or less isolated, — the Forwarding Camp the largest, — while in Le Mans are the headquarters with a constant flow of men from the adjacent country. “The book supply is woeful, — there isnt’ nearly enough material, and requests coming from eveiy side. Men who have not seen books for eighteen months, who have been in trenches at the front until they came to the deadly monotony of their muddy camps at Le Mans, are without books still. Their officers plead for boxes of books, while the best that can be furnished for the present is a sop of two or three. At a rough guess, about 18,000 books have been distributed over this area, many of which have disappeared with the men who broke camp suddenly. “Now the Paris office is sending a good many boxes down to us, fiction and technical: but our library will be very meagrely equipped when we open. I hope there will be a constant flow here- after. “This explanation, written in the midst of many interruptions from muddy, tired and bored dough- boys, is because we’ve heard rumors of a let-down in the sending of books from America. I think it’s probably untrue for we hear all sorts of rumors; but you will know, and if there’s a project for stopping the sending of books, I know you’ll put in a strong "word.” AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.

So many inquiries have recently been addressed to this office regarding the final disposition of the books after the close of the Library War Service, that it is impossible to write a separate letter to each inquirer. The situation is this! The War Service Committee of the American Library Associa- tion is giving careful considerat ion to this subject; their desire bein 6 that the first choice be given to the War and Navy Departments for a continuing library service to the men in the army and navy respectively. If books remain after these needs have been met, it is very possible, in fact probable, that the Committee will consider favorably placing the books in certain communities not possessing libraries or library facilities, especially communities in the South and South-West, these being portions of the country which have the fewest libraries. For the present, all the books available are needed for soldiers and sailors. Only recently Dr. Putnam, Librarian of Congress and General Director of the Library War Service, who is now in France, cabled us that at least a million more books and magazines should be sent over within the next six months. There are a full million and a half soldiers still in France and they are demanding books for study and recreational reading more insistently than ever before. Consequently any consideration other than for the use of the soldiers and sailors must be deferred. In the meantime we are holding for the War Service Committee your request and others of like nature. Very truly yours, GEORGE E. UTLEY U/y Executive Secretary, r April 11, 191S. SPECIAL MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Books for Overseas. To the Camp Librarian : The enclosed "Hurry Call" explains the urgency of the present need for more books, We believe that most of the large Camps can spare a few thousand volumes without crippling the work too greatly. Mr, Charles A. Read, who has had a year's experience as Librarian in several Camps, has just been appointed Field Representative. Mr. Read has spent several days at Headquarters reading the appeals for books that have been sent in from our Paris Office. We are sending him out to interview the Camp Librarians, to explain personally the need as shown in the overseas letters, to go over the book collections at each Camp in company with the Camp Librarian, and to arrange with the Camp Librarian for the shipment to Dispatch Of f icssd’ what ever can be spared from the Camp collection. Do not infer from this action that Headquarters minimizes the work in the U.S, Camps, We realize that the home work is more important than ever during the remaining months, but where a Camp of 20,000 or 30,000 men in the United States has a col- lection of 20,000 or 3b, 000 volumes, an army of 300,000 men in France has only b 0,000 or 7b, 000 books available. We are confident that you will consider this from tne point of view of the v/ork as a whole and do your best. Very truly yours, MALCOLM G. WYER (enclosure^ Assistant to the Director.

To the Library War Service Worker: You have a story to tell, based on your experience in the Library War Service. Aspects of the work, as you have seen it in camps or hospitals or overseas, may provide the material for a magazine or newspaper article. Your local newspaper would assuredly be interested in an account such as your return from the service would afford an occasion for giving. It would be likely to receive attention even if you have been back at your peace-time duties for some time. If you are still in the field, a letter to your newspaper will help to create interest in public library service. While the work of the Library War Service is closing, the work of the American Library Association will go on. There is a big field for the A. L. A., and in order that we may be trusted to meet the opportunities which lie ahead, the public must know of the service we have already rendered. Every article about library work, whether it deals with the war service or with the larger peaoe-time aspects, will help to bring a general realization that an adequate nation-wide public library service is vitally necessary to the development of the nation. Will you not aid in creating such public sentiment, through whatever medium of publication you wish? Whether the publication has a general or local circulation, utilizing it will v/ in for us needed support. Very truly yours, GEORGE B. UTLEY, Executive Secretary. . 'f-Tfr J i: , ...

Books sent from main to branches not counted as circulation. If one man borrows a book and 10 friends read it, count 1_, as that is certain. You can make a careful estimate that the average book loaned to one soldier is read by men, and this will be balanced by estimates from other camps for a face-value estimate in publicity.

Educational classes in the army camps form an important part of the work of the Committee on Training Camp Activities. This work is maintained with the help of local committees. One of the way in which these local committees are cooperating most effectively with the camp forces is in the securing of teachers of French and other subjects. The men are eager to prepare themselves for the time when "somewhere in France" they will meet the men with whom they are to fight side by side. The War Recreation Boards in many cities are making this pos- sible by providing teachers not only at the camps but in the commun- ities. Atlanta, Ga., for instance, is furnishing French teachers for the Y. M. C. A. educa.tional director at camp; Burlington, Vt., Charleston, S- C-, Chicago, 111. (where a five hour trip is involved for the teachers going to Highland Park, ) Indianapolis, Ind., Pensa- cola, Fla., San Francisco, Cal., Spartanburg, S. C., Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn, and many other cities are performing similar services. In Alexandria, La., a grammar school has been opened in the evening for classes in French and History* In Chattanooga, the Board of Edu- cation is attempting to supply the educational material necessary for the 300 men enrolled in classes in camp, many of whom can neither read nor write. Three hundred fifty arithmetics sent to the War Recreation Board by the American Book Company of Cincinnati are being put into excellent use at camp. The University of South Carolina at Columbia is giving courses in French, History, Mathematics and Topography, at a nominal rate. Satur- day night lectures are being given at the base hospital at Camp Cody by teachers from Deming High School. This school will be open even- ings for classes in French, Spanish, Mathematics, Science and History. The educational work for the men at Fort Bliss has been taken over by the president of the University cf Texas, who has assigned five uni- versity instructors and three volunteers to the work, the army provid- ing transportation to the camp for the instructors. Two thousand men were enrolled in the classes. At Macon, Ga*, an educational course has been arranged giving high school and college credits. The men at the Navy Yard, through the courtesy of organizations in Philadelphia, are having instruction in automobile mechanics, electricity, typewriting and surveying, as well as in academic sub- jects. The Universities of Wisconsin and California are sending in- structors to the nearby camps. Closely allied to the educational work at the camps and in the com- munities is the movement which has spread rapidly through all the camp cities to collect books and magazines for the men in camp for use at the Y.M.C. A. recreation huts, the base hospitals, the barracks and in many instances in the khaki clubs in the communities. In all cf this work the city libraries have been most helpful in acting as clearing (904 9 ) Educational work in the Training Camrps 2 houses ar.d in sorting and grading the books before they are sent to oarhp* The libraries of a number of cities are throwing open their facilities to the soldiers on Sunday afternoon and in the evenings when the iron are in town* Many of them have established branch libraries at- the carnrs- Many interesting plans have been devised for collecting the books and arousing the interest of the communities in the project* In El Paso the Boy Scouts helped in collecting the books which were catalogued by the public library in units of one hundred* At Nogale s, Ariz._, boxes were placed in various parts of the city where contri- butions might be made regularly. Atlanta and one or two other cities made use of laundry wagons which gathered up the books as they made their collections. The hotels were asked to gather up the magazines leftzby their guests. Through the school children of Augusta, cir- culars telling of the movement and providing reading matter for the soldiers, reached the homes of the city. The Girl Scouts were active in helping to gather the material. The local committee of Dayton se- cured a large collection of technical and mechanical magazines through advertising agencies. The public library of Washington undertook the task of supplying with books and magazines all nearby camps, soldierii clubs, rest rooms and detached guard stations. Moving picture films were used as a medium of appeal for reading matter. - ALL - v o 'X. 9 ) f . ' 4 * ; * A February 8, 1918 Ijjtes from th e Camp Library . Camp Funster, .

On the evening of January 2, two men in the "Engineers’ Camp" had, between them, Hall’s "Kitchener’s mob" and Viator Chapman’s "Letters," both books from the Camp Library. Each man read his book through, then exchanged with his friend. They read in the barracks till lights were out, then went to the company bath-house, where lights burn all night, and read till 11:32 P«m. and 1-: CO a.m., respectively. Both men read both books through. Ian Hay Beith’ s "First hundred thousand" was read at one sitting by a man comfortably tipped ba~k in a Windsor arm-chair against the book shelves. He read right through the formal speeches at the library "opening." Y.K.C.A. Humber 1C ’phoned to the library that additional copies of the novels of Harold Bell Wright, Winston Churchill, John Eox, Jr., and also "David Harum" and Hepsy Burke" were in demand. Two copies of each wore sent promptly. The poetry of Kilcy and Kipling is specially in demand at Y.K.C.A. Humber 1 , at Eort Riley. The library has filled several requests for more copies. The six copies of Hr. C-crard’ 3 book, "Hy four years in .Germany,” are always out. Empoy’ s "Over the top" (if copies; is always : r. use- Coningsby Dawson’s " 9 arry on" is another favor- ite. The American Library Association War Service headquarters, at 'Washington, is supplying additional copies for use at Funston. A few sample requests received at the central library: Wireless telegraphy. Explosives. Veterinary medicine and sur- gery. Oscar Wilde's plays. Geography (especially maps and atlases; . Cipher codes and do -ciphering manuals. Steam engines. Hew to make and read maps. Trigonometry. Calculus. Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey (in the original). Spanish easy reading. Life of St; no wall Jackson. Chemistry. Bacteriology. Liebknecht on Militarism. A 9 ami Library in a Blizzard On January 10 , 11 , and 12, Camp Funston was visited by a Kansas "blizzard," with intense cold. The library was kept quite comfortably warm, and had an average attendance of visitors. Following are a few notes .from those days: Maeterlinck’ s "Wisdom and destiny" was asked for and search- ed for in vain 'since then, received from A.L.A. headquarters.) The mar. had, read it in part at homo, wanted to finish it in com p. _ He has been notified .that, t.ho b^v i- , Camp Funs ton Library, page 2 A dozen or fifteen pa.gos of concise, up-to-date ( 1917 ) information on meningitis in its various forms was furnished another inquirer, thanks to a good lady of Manhattan, Kansas, who had given the library a relative’s medical library* Another man, a drafting designer in civil life, wanted something on his specialty, becuase "a fellow forgets all he knows.” Thanks to someone in Kansas City, the library furnished him with a volume of the I.C.S. series, exactly on his subject. He had never seen it before. He went away happy. The educational secretary from Y.h.C.A. Humber 5 came in on one of these days to get all possible textbooks in grammar, spelling, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, physical geography, civics, and history. The library was able to give him something on every subject. He has classes in many of these, but rather more individual students pursuing their own studies. Another Y.M.C.A. educational secretary was in during the blizzard, asking for help in organizing a class in Pecimal filing of government correspondence, for the Quartermaster and other departmental clerks , Another 15° below zero visitor brought a friend, seeking a Hitman or Graham shorthand instruction book. "He can pick it up right off with a little help from me and a book.” Hut the library had only Eclectic and Gregg books. Robert Service’ s posijis were the quest of the educational 3 ecrctary of ”Y” Humber 7 on this cold day, for some of his men. He has had a steady demand for poetry. He carried the books back with him. On the morning of January 12, with the thermometer at 20° below, the camp was further frozen with horror at the bank robbery and murder of four men the night before. Cnc of the first visitors at the library was an officer, a member of the investigating commission.” Ho wanted a book to read, "not too heavy, but something to occupy my mind.” He took away a Rex 3eaoh . On one of these mornings the librarian prepared and served coffee to the several temporary soldier assistants. "Gay, boy’- this sure ruins what they call coffee at our mess’." was one response . Formal Opening of Library The library building at Camp Eunston 7 / as formally opened on Saturday afternoon, January About lfG guest-s were present, including officers and men, representatives of camp activities, and about thirty visiting librarians. On behalf of the American Library Association, Mr. Purd P . Wright, librarian of Kansas City public library, described the war service of the association, told of the beginning of library service at Camp Eunston and Fort Riley in July 1917, and handed the key of the building at Lieut. Richard B. Foster, chief of the Pepartmont of Camp Activities. Lieut, (now Captain) Foster accepted the building and its equip- ment and service on behalf of the camp authorities, welcoming the contribution of the American Library Association to the content- ment and inspiration of the men _and__qfjMccrs^ M ^ M ^e^j^^^^j^^^^ M I Camp Puns ton Library, page 3 monthly "visiting day." The staff is grateful to Mrs. Willis Kerr, Hiss Hary Alice Whitney, Hiss Grace Leaf, and Kiss Louise laggard, all of Emporia, for their generous assistance in the preparations for the "opening." The Library Building The new library building at Funston is 40xl2C feet in size, and very attractive in exterior and interior. It was com- pleted by the contractors on Wednesday, recember 19* Work at the former library working quarters (in the store-room of the Y •>; . C .A» headquarters ) had been suspended since Thanksgiving, ail books and magazines being delivered to the library building. By Bec- embor 2C there was an accumulation of more than sixty cases of books and twenty tons cf magazines. Between Bee ember 20 and January 4, the librarian and assistant (Messrs. Kerr and Clayton), assisted by Lloyd Hello ii and Glenn KcPhoror., student assistants from the Emporia Uormal library, and several soldedrs "retailed" by the camp authorities for library service, opened and sorted the books, sorted and bundled and distributed or stored the magazines, installed the living room equipment (two rooms and bath at one end of building/, received and put into daily use the library’ s Ford auto truck, received and unpacked the building equipment of chairs and office desks, washed tie windows, and put up the w i n d o w dr aper ie s .

After the armistice was signed I visited the Library practically every day until discharged and was able to study and complete plans for ray life-work. I have nothing but praise for your grand work. The War Camp Community Service friends inform me that if there is not a public library in a fellow's home town, that we should write to you friends. There is no Library here and would like to inquire if it would be possible for me to procure special books that I want from time to time. I w ould not care f or a general selection but is there a way in which I can secure a copy of a special book at any time? I would be glad to pay for such a service and will appreciate any information you are able to give me. Respectfully yours, s/ C. S. HUNSINGER Ex-Sergeant Signal Corps. 4 *
