lligfzafz Statehouse uf Knowledge Once upon a time libraries were re- garded simply as places in which to keep booksg storehouses for knowledge Where greater stress was laid on the preserva- tion ot the records than on the use. Today the use ot the public library is an integral part ot modern living-'lending assistance in all social, educational and recreational needs. The modern school library meets the teaching work of the school at all points, helps to carry it on, and is a definite part ot the educational program. lt is the com- mon laboratory tor students and teachers. While Paseo Branch Library has striven to come up to all standard requirements, its greatest hope and secret purpose has been to inculcate the true love ot reading into every studentg so that the seven joys of reading shall be theirs through all the days to come.
