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.

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

considers it her job to find the
answers to those requests and
