Library Week
be observed
Newberry residents will join
millions of their fellow Amer
icans in well over 5000 com
munities in all 50 states in ob
servance of National Library
Week, April 17-23, it was an
nounced today by the Newberry
Library Week Committee, head
ed by IVIrs. Aubrey Harley. This
will be the tenth culminating
observance of the year-round
program* ; designed to encourage
lifetime, reading habits and to
create widest use and support of
libraries of all kinds.
With the theme “Keep Grow
ing-Read", Library Week pro
vides special opportunities to
emphasize the personal re
wards and increase interest in
developing the .reading resour
ces that serve the community.
In 1966, the program willcon-
tinue to stress the need for
more school libraries and will
alert young people to the wide
range of opportunities for car
eers in the library profession.
Launched in 1958, National
Library Week’s impact in past
years can be measured in im
pressive gains in reading of all
kinds, in increased library cir
culation and registration fig
ures, and an upsurge of citizen
support for expansion of lib
rary services. Many activities
initiated through the impetus
of Library Week have helped
identify libraries as vital agen
cies of education and to link
reading with lifetime learning.
Sixty national organizations
actively participate in National
Library Week, which is spon
sored by the National Book
Committee, Inc., a non-profit
citizen’s group, in cooperation
with the American Library As
sociation. The program for “a
better read, better informed
America’’ has also had the full
cooperation of newspapers,
magazines, and the broadcast
ings industry. Special assistance
is given to National Library
Week by the American News
paper Publishers Association
and the Magazine Publishers
Association. The program is
also approved as a public ser
vice by the Advertising Council.
Work on the expanding ob
servance for this year has be
gun, with the formation of
local, state and national com
mittees, and the pledging of
vigorous support by many in
dividuals and groups of all
kinds; religious, cultural, and
educational; fraternal, and pro
fessional, business, labor and
government.
