June 9, 1928 WINNETKA TALK SCHOOLS SUFFER HEAVY LOSSES IN LIBRARIES Shelves Depleted by Promiscuous Borrowing and Failure to Return Volumes By Nelle A. Olson (Public School Librarian) During the past few months the libraries in all the lower grade school buildings in Winnetka have been re- organized and put in excellent condi- tion to serve the schools much better than they have ever done before. How- ever, this inventory has revealed a situation that is really appalling. Literally hundreds of school reading books have disappeared, leaving no trace behind them. Many fine new books, purchased as recently as a year or two ago, are missing from the room libraries of every building. Where Are the Books? Where are these books? There can be but one answer, they must be in Winnetka homes. Children must have taken them home to read, often with- out advising the teacher, put them in their own bookcases and forgotten all about them. The books have not worn out, teachers have not taken them, they are not in the school buildings, they must be in the homes. Skokie school has suffered also, the * most serious loss being a volume of a new encyclopedia purchased last fall Volume eighteen of the new edition of the Book of Knowledge was taken while the set was in the library on trial before it had been purchased and stamped with the school stamp of own- ership. It is impossible to replace single volumes; only the purchase of an entire set will make good the loss of this volume, containing especially helpful material for the social studies work; and the school has had to do without it all winter. You May Have One Will not parents of all Winnetka school children and those also who have had children in the schools in recent years join in a drive to return all this missing school property? Will you not go through all the bookcases in your homes, looking for the school ownership stamp? You may say, "Oh, there are none in our home," but will you please look just the same? You may be surprised at what you find. One home sent in ten such missing books, when packing to move away, and about seventy public school books were sent in by generous citizens to be sold at a recent rummage sale held in Winnetka. 2 First Scandinavian Ev. 886 Elm street Roy A.
