Special Exhibit Of
Children’s Books
At Reading Room
A special exhibit of children’s
books is being shown at Mc
Cormick Reading Room this week.
This exhibit is to be shovfti on
Friday, Sept. 16th—Mon., Sept.
19th, and the public is invited to
see this exhibit of some of the
new children’s books. These books
come from the State Library
Board of South Carolina through
the courtesy of the National Asso
ciation of Book Publishers. Some
fifteen publishers have agreed to
send copies of their new children’s
books to the states which wish
them so that they may be shown
throughout the libraries and com
munities in that state.
The parents as well as the chil
dren are urged to see these books.
It is hoped that many children
will see them because a real thrill
is in store for them—so many in
teresting books for them to
browse over and enjoy.
The books are divided into
three groups, or rather three age
levels. First those that may be
called easy books; or those for
the pre-school, kindergarten and
primary grades children. The
second group is the middle group,
which includes a large range from
about the fourth through the
sixth grades. The third group
contains the books for the older
boys and girls.
