CAMP LEWIS NOTES
CAMP LEWIS." facoma. Wash!.
May 22. The Camp Is Ilbraiy Is
the moFt attractive of any library
building in the army cantonments of
th rountry, is giving the mot ample
wrvlce and I the largest under the
direction of the library war service
section of the American Library asj
sociation, Pr. Herbert Putnam, di
rector of camp libraries, said today.
Ir. Putnam visited ramp to Inspect
the work of the library, the 47
branch libraries and 37 circulating li
braries in camp. .
-Camp "Lav, is Las the greatest de
mand for books of a serious nature
and books of reference of any array
library." Dr. Putnam said. "The re
quest for technical works here Is. far
greater than at any other camp and
there al?o apiears to be a big demand
for books which will help the men In
their chosen occupations when they
return to civil life."
Dr., Putnam also brought word that
a woman librarian soon is to be ap
pointed for the base hospital here to
distribute books among the convales
cents aid in the Y. M. C. A. conval
escents home, recently authorized.
The entire Pacific coast has re
sponded splendidly In helping the
library work here. Dr. Putnam said.
Because of the distance from head
quarters In Washington, it' has been
necessary to rely on the city librari
ans and the public In providing the
soldiers here with reading matter.
Gifts froirthe public have made it
unnecersary to buy for the library
anything but technical works on ser
ious treatises on the war. Dr. Pul
nam commended the work of Prof.
E. E. Ruby, librarian, and added that
the excellent work of the library here
was in a largpart due to coopera
tion of the military authorities.
Fifty ton of books a month are be
ing sent overseas to ths expedition
ary forces In France, Dr. Putnam
said, and libraries are put at the dis
posal of the men on every troop ship.
Three million volumes were, collect
ed in the national- drive in March
and there soon will be ready for cir
culation. Dr. Putnam is official librarian of
congress and was relieved of his dut
ies there to take charge of the army
work. . ; '
