M. C. A. hut, Just within the en closure and overlooking: the mammoth operations of the Peninsula shipyards, each Thursday afternoon stands a smil ing young woman from 3:30 until 5 o'clock, ready to greet the night shift as the men come on and the members Of the day shift as they leave work. It Is Miss Ethel Bowers, librarian of the University Park branch library, who visits the shipbuilders weekly, supplying them with books requested, taking from them the names of other books desired and endeavoring In every way to Inter est them in books on shipbuilding and of technical nature. Peesllar Flare for Library Last Thursday' saw the two weeks mark since the establishment of the li brary station at the Peninsula shipyards and the books given out to the men on the first day were due. "A peculiar place for a library," one thought, going down the many flights of steps with Miss Bowers, who carried in her hand a special book that a certain man had asked for. What time had the atoms of humanity who made up the buzzing and humming of the immense Industry that was supply4ng ships to fill the demand of a mighty nation for delving into the pages of quiet books! But It Is for the making of better ship builders and better workmen that the men are being interested, for the library is only furnishing books of a technical nature. "How Wooden Ships Are Built." Just published by H. Cole EBtep, Is quite the most popular book the li brary has to offer. Every man wants an "Estep" and it has been necessary In some Instances to wait until one man had finished the book before giving It to another workman.' . Tacked upon the side of the little hut Just by the entrance Is a sign to attract 'the attention of the men In parsing: "Peninsula Shipyard Station of the Public Library. Open Thursdays 3 :30 to S p. m. Books on shipbuilding, car pentry, Diesel engines anything you want. Leave your request at any time." Miss Bowers, upon her arrival. Is greeted with a stack of books which have been returned to Mr. Hale. In charge of the T. M. C. A. hut during the week. A number of books are kept at the branch station during the wek in 1 one of the soldiers' cases supplied by the library, which are used at the Y. M. C. A. and army camps throughout the country. A table Is carried out upon the porch, and here Miss Bowers presides. As the stream of men files down the steps to commence their work for the nipht, many a man turns off toward the little hut. carrying a book neatly wrapped In newspaper to protect the cover, which he returns. - Librarian Alwayi AttentlTe "Did you like It? Is there anything else you would like to have?" asks Miss : Bowers. Sometimes there is, sometimes there Is not. Sometimes the man does not know, and Miss Bowers takes him ' Inside and shows him the collection in . the bookcase and perhaps Interests him In another book. Some of the men stop to explain that they haven't finished their books, or else they forgot to bring I them back, and to these the little libra rian gives a renewal. Then comes 4 :80, and with the blow- Ing of the whistle hundreds of men lm- mediately drop their tools and run like a hbuse afire to get checked out first. , Dirty and sweaty and begrimed, the Stream of men mounting the steps forks off at the Junction of the walk leading to the hut. and the numbers coming to I obtain books Indicate the success which the venture In library extension work ; has met. Many of the men come to purchase groceries from the co-operative store In the same building, which is j i being managed by Mr. Hale, but the rest want books. I , "I did not get much out of this book," i said one boy. "It was a little too hard i for me. I didn't understand it much." Miss Bowers Immediately saw that he i had been given a work a little too tech- I i nlcal for his training, and immediately : supplied him with a more general 'work of simpler nature. "Is there any chance for me. to get a book' here?" shouted a tall young man. pushing his way to the front. "I want to get a card fixed out for- me," said another man, "but I haven't time for reading Just yet I have to play In the band, tonight, and then when I do have time to read, my wife won't let me." I Some are not so eager for books. Tt7tit An VAn want tn via A th.n thtnM for?", asked one, man.. ,"It would seem to me Just like ttolne back to work. I have enough of that durlne the day." j Ana so wiey crowa upon tne porcn ana : patiently await their turn to speak to tlvr alr librarian. If she hasn't the v hook they want, she takes the name of ' , It, or the nature of the information they - desire, and brings the book they want , on her next trip to the shipyards, or. If His convenient, the men sometimes call v at the branch library for It. Plan It New and Suceestfal ' Only books of a technical nature are furnished, as the librarians feet that the man may obtain other books from the branch libraries, and the main Idea is. to "et the - men interested in technical works. The plan Is a new one and whether It will be adopted in other ship yards or not depends upon Its success at .'' 1 . the " Peninsula and the Alblna Engine . ... . . , j i . . .
