Light Literature Chosen For Warm Summer Days B EDNA KILLMEYER Warm lummcr days have . fteir effect or. the public'i read iig habits as evidenced by re ports of the Klamath Kail; city library that magazine reading is taining the upper hand over neevy literary tomes with mine SOU magazines circulating monthly. Staff members of the Klam ith Falls city library say that most people during the summer months, if they find time to read at all, choose light novels or non-fiction, and generally peaking, come less frequently io the library and keep books out longer. Librarians venture a puess that with no more gas ration ing, people travel a great deal mid devote less time to reading. Magazine reading is the popular thing now and the city library circulates some 500 of them a month. Children are the exception to the rule. To them there is no distinction between fiction and making r A N GSANUIATIOI I non-fiction, and life hasn't be come so complicated that they can't find time to enjoy a good story. Another reading trend already apparent is the quick death of the widely publicized best sell ers dealing with war reports, phases of battles and eye-witness accounts of history in the making. Some believe that this type book may have a revival in time when the war isn't so fresh in the public's mind. The wartime best sellers are not the only ones left beside the way. Enola Hawkins, city librar ian, states that her records in dicate that people are far less interested In the literary clas sics than few years ago. She draws a parallel between the reading demand now and in the 1920s. Library staff members say that the biggest problem in an swering reference questions is tnat people don't make their wants specific, they just ask for "something about Pata gonia" when they really want to Know u me iisning is gooa there. The conscientious librarian considers it her job to find the answers to those requests and the large numbers of puzzled folk seeking information in an eifort to settle an argument. rear their children successfully or doctor their cats and dogs are always welcome. The six books most in demand at the city library are MacDon aid's "The Egg and I," Contain s The Black Rose."
