Special announcement should be made of the talks on birds 

 given at the library, the prizes for the best bird compositions, 

 exhibits of bird pictures, 'and new bird books received. 

 The library must make the subject interesting and the new 

 and best books on birds conspicuous. It is not sufficient for 

 the library to be a store house of books. It niust call the at- 

 tention of people to its new and best books by advertising 

 them and placing them where they may be seen.
