News About Books From the Library Among the people we envy are the catalog departments of mail order houses. They can ray to their customers with as surance, "Your order should be here on -Friday." Even when they say, "This item must be shipped from the factory; it may take two weeks," we envy them. When a public library orders a book, it has no assurance that it v.ill be received in five days, in five weeks, in five months. It may come by return mail if the wholesale jobber expects a great demand for it and has ordered a large supply of copies before publication. If, on the other hand, he has waited to order from the publisher until he gets an indication of the number of libraries and retail stores that will want copies, it may take some weeks to supply his customers, according to Miss Helen Webster, Medford librari an. Perhaps then the book may have exceeded all expectations in popularity, the publisher have depleted his own stock, and a new printing be required before the book can be shipped. Only the very largest libraries order in sufficient quantity, or have sufficient order clerks, to nter into correspondence direct with the publishers concerning individual book orders; most li braries forward their orders ach week or each month to book jobbers, who then consoli date orders and forward them to the various publishers. Then they wait; the libraries wait; and the readers wait. The Medford library is now Waiting for more than 800 titles, most of them ordered within the past six month. Miss Web ster said. Meanwhile we con tinue to send in our weekly orders. All books on order are listed in the library's card cata log and will be reserved for you upon your request. You will then be notified when the book Is available. Gifts accounted for 104 of the 303 volumes added to the library during the past two weeks. Do nors were Yetta R.
