Thursday, April 17, 1930 Do Not Hesitate to Ask ~The first duty and the greatest pleasure of the library assistants is to help people find what they want. Not infrequently readers with a quesâ€" tion to ask, apologize to the assistâ€" ant for "disturbing" her. They need not; she is there to answer questions, and is eager to aid in every possible way. Of course much work besides waiting on the public must be done in the reference and other departâ€" ments, but this is always secondary to readers‘ needs. Because you see an assistant busy at her desk, do not think she must not be interrupted, or will not be glad to be, Above all, do not go away unsatisfied. The catalogue will be helpful to those who prefer to help themselves. But if you do not find the information desired, in & large proportion*of cases it can be unearthed if you only make. your wants known. There are many inâ€" dexes, reference books, and other tools familiar to librarians that may be used in finding facts which seem almost inaccessible.

Don‘t Fail to Report Change of Address Promptly Mary Wilkins Freeman ~Mrs. Mary Wilkins Freeman, short story writer and novelist, died at her home in Metuchen, N. J, on March 13, at the age of 68. She was best known for her short stories dealing with New England rural life, and has long been a favorite among ficâ€" tion readers. Gift for Fine Arts Collection An adequate collection of books in the Fine Arts has long been a dream for the Highland Park Public Liâ€" brary.. With Ravinia, internationally known as an art center, and Ravinia Park, equally famous, the library has long felt the need of more books in music and arl. , Each year a few choice volumes have been added as money could be spared from the general book budget. The first book to be bought through a gift of money is that oftâ€"requested work "The Furniture Treasury," by Wallace Nutting. This is made possiâ€" ble by a check of $10 recently received from Mr. William D. McDonald of Highland ~Park,; the balance being donated by a member of the library board. A wonderful opportunity awaits those wishing to render an inestimâ€" able service to Highland Park. Peoâ€" ple intérested in the library have from time to time given small colâ€" lections of books, but there has never been as yet a bequest or sizable meâ€" morial for books. The day is not far distant when someone will catch a glimpse of this farâ€"reaching opporâ€" tunity, will suit his action to his thought, and will establish a lasting memorial by endowing the Highland Park Library with an abundance of suitable books in some special field.
