^WM®m> IMtAKJSHORE NEWS. FRIDAY^ MARCH 9, 1923 HELP LIBRARY! CITIZEN'S PLEA Asks Contributions of Books, Money BY ALBERT A. McKEIGHAN (President, Wilmette Improvement As- sociation) In its public^fbrary the village of Wil- mette has an asset that should be guarded as jealously as its school systemâ€"and supported as liberally. No other agency can perform its functions. It is the con- necting link between the school and the homeâ€"the source from which the stu- dent body secures its reference books, as well as the classics and fiction that must supplement the regular text books. In- deed, the library occupies the position ot *n efficient handmaiden of the schoolsâ€" an educational institution that could be dispensed with only at great cost to the entire community. Funds Needed Now What would you say to the person who would come to you and suggest that the library be closed permanently, ^or its equipment cut in half? Certainly your answer would be that closing would not be considered for a moment, and that re- duction of equipment cquld_jiQL_bejy--n a thought. While there is %o danger of the former disaster, the second is a very serious reality, due to the rapid increase of population and consequent increase in school attendance. The effect is exactly the same as though population and requirements had remained the same, and library equipment reduced one nail, or approximately so: Need More Books The Wilmette library is not now at the point of efficiency that the village re- quires. It has not the number of books Ser capita that it should have. It has Sot the financial resources to keep the library in step with the growth of the Vilw!Sn one considers the splendid work now being done by the Library board wUh the limited means at its command, he cannot but wonder what miracles that capable and loyal body could accomp- lish with even a moderate amount of n,0ney* Must W.ken To Need. . .

TODNGMT LECTURE TOPIC Gilbert Loveland Speaks Here Sunday BY OBSERVER All fathers and mothers, aunts and uncles, grandfathers and grandmothers, will be interested in the lecture, "The Young Idea," to be given at 5 o'clock in the First Methodist Episcopal church of Wilmette, Sunday, March 11, by Gilbert Loveland. The children, too, will enjoy the talk, for the lecture is illustrated by beautifully colored slides, showing the charm and the mischief and the promise of their little comrades from every land. The purpose of the lecture is not to tell what children should eat, or wear, or how they should act. It is just for the pur- pose of showing them as they are, appeal- ing, as children always are, and full oi possibilities for good, and evil. The two hundred pictures and the stories that go with them, form an interesting summary of the kiddies of the world, and of the place in the world which they must oc- CUMany of the slides were made from photographs taken all over the world bv S.
