OR G A N I r AT I ON S H HARRISON LIBRARY CLUB Lillian Harrison Vera Jones . . The Library Club was originally composed of girls taking library science, but others were ad- mitted who were interested in the library and in reading. Its purpose is to create a greater inter- est in books among the students of the school To accomplish this the club members read new books and write reviews for the school paper. Monthly meetings were held at the home of one or other of the club members, where the youthful librarians discussed merits of the latest books, ways of making the library more attract- ive, and how to inspire a greater interest in . . . . President Sec reta ry-Treasu rer literature. At the close of the business meeting the hostess served a buffet dinner. Social activities have included a Christmas party at the home of the sponsor, a trip to the Huntington Library in April, and a barbecue in May at Camp Comfort. The club has had a very profitable year, and the members have become acquainted with the works of many of the worth while present day authors Club sponsors were Miss Ruth Thomas and Miss Mary Schofield. =g— It jMr n n D .
