On : the porch of the little shingled
Y. 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
