' STATE LIBRARY'S LENDING SERVICE PROVES POPULAR «»• The Illinois State library's .Htm nation picture film lending service is proving to be a most popular one, with more than 1,000 requests answered in the first five months the plan has been in operation, Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier, state librarian, has reported. Eighty-five per cent of the requests were filled immediately,1 Mr. Carpentier said, while the remaining 15 per cent were for films which were in use at the time the requests were received. Churoh groups, Parent-Teachers units and Farm Bureau . groups account for the majority of the loans, he said. The film lending program is a co-operative project between the Illinois State library and the visual aids service of the University of Illinois, Secretary Carpentier explained. Through it, the Offensive film library of the university has been made available for general lending without charge. The only cost to a patron is the postage required to return the film to the university. -- The university's film catalog, listing all the films in the collections has been sent to all libraries in Illinois, Mr. Carpentier said, and arrangements to borrow the films are made with local libraries. For individuals and groups not having local library service, the catalog may be borrowed from the Illinois State library and arrangements for borrowing made with that library. „ Want Ads, like freedom, are everybody'# business.
