FOR 45 MILLION WASHINGTON (UP) Although 77 percent of all books read In the United States ln the course of a year come from public, school, or rental libraries. 43,000,000 Americans are without any type of library serv ice, according to Carleton B. Joeckel of the University of Chicago. Joeckel found that the rural sec lion of the country suffers most heavily from lack of access to book facilities, since of the 4S.000.000 Americans deprived of Ubararles, 40, 000,000 are classified as engaged In agricultural pursuits. - This consti tutes three quarters of the farming population of the United States. "The book resources of this country are at least as unevenly distributed as its economic resources," writes Joekel. In support of his statement he points to the fact that the en tire population of Massachusetts has access to public libraries, while the number of similarly privileged people In West Virginia is only 13 percent of the total population.
