LIBRARY WAR SERVICE, 
With the great increase in the size of our army comes a greatly increased 
demand for books for our soldiers and sailors To meet this at least 
3,500,000 must be raised for Library War Service this fall, |The ¥.MyGgeee 
the Y,W.C.A., the War Camp Community Service, and the American Library Associ- 
ation are to unite in one big drive in November to raise funds for all four 
organizations, This is in accordance with the expressed desire of the War 
Department and of the Council of, National Defense and represents also the 
earnest wish of the President, With its share of the funds about to bé raised 
the A,L.A. plans to construct 12 large and 10 smaller library buildings a 
overseas camps, to add 10 large and 10 smaller new buildings to those in use 
in this country, to make additions to those already in use, to spend more than 
a million and a half in the purchase of additional books and magazines, and to 
expend for maintenance and equipment of the service, including these additions, 
another million and a half, All who are interested in any of these organi= 
zations are urged to contribute generously, for as the war approaches its cli- 
max the period right before us becomes by far the most critical and now is the 
time to render a significant service and to show our devotion to the cause, 4
