Despite Lurid Comics Children's Libraries Show Bigger Turnover Children are such avid readers that publishers today consider them a market for between onee third and one-half the books being published. Children's libraries are doing a roaring business. In Toronto's public library, for ine stance, more than a million and a half children's books are taken out annually. In the pacific seas port city of Prince Rupert, business is just as hectic as librarians are besieged for such titles as "Babar, the Elephant", "Flicka, Ricka, Dicka" and "Orlando, the Marme alade Cat", not to mention such stand-bys as "Alice in Wonderland" and "Tom Sawyer", At the Montreal Children's Library, parents drop im from nearby office buildings te pick up books for their children. This lbrary keeps a record of books taken out by parents so there is no danger of father arriving home twice in one month with "Mike {Mulligan and his Steam Shovel". For the teen-ager there is today more mature fiction and non-fige tion than ever before. In addition to the well-known animal and ade venture stories, there are now bete ter love stories, and more coure geous treatment of social themes, controversial history or biography. As one librarian remarked, advene ture or historical themes were once a monotonous series of 'another Ine dian bites the dust!" Now the Ine dian's side of the picture is being treated with sympathy and undere standing. In recent years chemistry has come to the aid of librarians overe whelmed with the task of keeping children's books .in repair. A buck ram fabric coated with a chemical called "pyroxylin" is now being use ed to make a binding five times as durakle as regular book cloth. It is tough and waterproof, does not show finger-marks- or scratches, and can be silk-screen printed with a design like a book-jacket. Glue flexible enough so that books can be opened easily has been developed.
