Public Library to Sta:e 'Children's i Annual Book Week Movement, Originated Three Yean Ago hy Booksellers . Association, Proposes 'More Books in Homes. l or third time the public libra ries of Omaha are to observe, with a large exhibit, the now nation-wide Children's Dock week. These books of interet to children and to those clojely conneeled with children, such a parents and teacher, will he on display at the Omaha public library. Wednesday, November 9, and will continue through November 1'.'. , "More book in the home" it the slogan of this movement which was utarted three year asto by the Amer ican Hook Her' association. ThU, the bonksfllrrs declare, is not a sel fish Felling proposition, but a con certed effort to brin& more and better books into the home. The most progressive people 'in the book M'lling business are realizing what was pointed to them a number of years ago, that "juvenile re.tding Is an assi't. and that if trash is cold to the children of today, that they will kill their trade in real hooks of to morrow, because the child brought up on trash does not grow up a reader rf hooks and a builder of a personal library." Seek For Selection. Manv children have the advantage of well-selected good book collcc linns, but too often the books which chance and not careful selection. I his is what t'ic librarian is striving for. She. is not attempting to put forth arbitrary titles, as many people feel is her one aim in life, but to bring to the child's notice such books as will train them to appreciate the good, the beautiful and the true in art, lit erature, and life. She wants to see books published that will make children happy and build character unconsciously, such tales of valor and chivalry as "Kim? Arthur," "Book of Golden Deeds," "Wonderbook of old Romance," or "Story of Roland" or modem ver sions such as Parknian's "Heroes of Today," Uiis' "Making of an Ameri can," or "Widow O'Callaghan's Boys." Three Factors in Life. The home, school and library are three important factors in child-life today. In the home, the natural en vironment of the child, the oppor tunity for guiding .the reading and surrounding the child with books which are worth while is very great. In the school, the teacher, if she knows her books, can aid materially, and in the library an effort is being made to help toward this end. ' This exhibit is one means toward ti "v one common aim. Here will be dund wonderful illustrated edi tions of such bid favorites as "Trea sure Island." "Kidnapped," "Robin son Crusoe," and "Child's Garden of Verse." These are illustrated by artists in sympathy with, children, such Si Randall Parrish, N. H.

As a special feature of the exhibit, plans will be given' for a bookcase just like the one which . 1 nomas Bailey Aldrich had over his bed, In the book "The Story of a Bad Boy."
