Travelling Similar work is done by the four libraries of carefuUj 

 Libraries. selected bird books which are furnished to the Woman's 

 Education Association for free circulation in the schools 

 and libraries of Massachusetts. These are in continuous use and are a 

 great help to those interested in bird life in the smaller communities 

 where library opportunities are not so great as in the larger centres. 

 Application for their use should be made to Mrs. Alice G. Chandler, 

 Lancaster, Mass. 



Bird The Society's three bird charts, figuring in all sixty-seven 



Charts, common birds in full size and colors, are rapidly becoming 

 familiar to schools, libraries and households throughout the 

 country. Early in 1916 the Society took over the publication of these 

 charts and a vigorous campaign for their introduction has since been 

 carried on. Since January, 1916, 2071 have been sold and have 

 received the appreciation of the public. The Audubon Bird Charts 

 are invaluable for school and family use and they have received the 

 highest commendation from such judges as John Burroughs, Prof. 

 Clifton F. Hodge, and P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of 

 Education. They should be hung in every school-room and public 

 library. 



Calendar. The Society publishes annually a calendar giving six 

 exquisite plates of birds in color, together with brief 

 descriptions. These calendars are much sought for their artistic 

 beauty and for the unique collection of colored plates of birds thus 

 obtained from year to year. They are sold at the office, through the 

 mail, and at local book and stationery stores. 



Leaflets. The Society has always on hand leaflets on all phases of 

 bird study and bird protection, many of them for free 

 distribution, others at a nominal price. These leaflets comprise not 

 only those published by the Society but those of the National Asso- 

 ciation of Audubon Societies and those pertaining to birds issued by 

 the M. S. P. C. A., the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture and 

 the Agricultural Department at Washington, D. C. 



Bird Books. The best bird books are on exhibition at the office and 

 the Society is glad to recommend them to its members
