Hedrick Junior High Edited by Steve Root, Sarah Madden, Karen Meadows, Vicki Hall, and Linda Wilkei "For a richer- fuller life, wake up and read." This is the slogan . for National Li brary Week, 1961, which is being celebrated this week. According to Gilbert Chap man there are approximately 25,000,000 people in this country with no public library service and about 50,000,000 with inadequate services. President John F. Kennedy In his articles "Why we should wake up and read," has this to say: " 'Wisdom is better than strength'. These words from Ecclesiastes are more than 2,000 years old but they have a special mean ing for us today. We face the challenge of unprecedented growth at home. And what we need more than atomic pow er, or airpower, or financial, industrial, or even manpower, is brain -power. The purpose of National Li brary Week is not only to promote reading and the many uses of the public li brary .but also those of the private libraries. 1 This is the fourth consecu tive year that a week has been set aside for focusing the public attention on the values of reading and the need for more adequate imrary serv ice in our country. Hedrick, in recognition of this week, will place a Civil War display in the hall show case, and a National Library Week display will be placed on the library bulletin board and throughout the library. There will also be a showing of new books. Announcement of this special week will be in the daily school bulletin, and a quiz concerning books will be tgiven in each homeroom.
