YOUI TOMGRROW' WGRLD AGAIN THE LIBRARY broke forth in an arresting array of pamphlets, publications, and posters in its annual celebra- tion of National Book Week. This year, the theme, You in Tomorrow's World, stressed the close relationship between the thoughts and actions of individuals and future world events. The library staff tried to bring to light the important part that books will play in the future with the belief that what is read today will greatly influence post-war plans and developments. Because books vary in style, nature, and number, the theme was further subdivided into two parts, You and Your World, so as to help the student find just what books can be read for a definite purpose. The books suggested for reading with intentions of find- ing out about you and what you can do or be, were un- der the general classes of personality, health, education, humor, homemaking, recreation, arts, vocations, and the military services of the United States. The books suggested with regard to Your World, dealt with customs, arts, literature, history of other lands and peoples, plans for the future, peace and understanding with other nations, futures in engineering, and many other topics of this sort. Every student in Proviso was given an opportunity to view this fair of fun, fundamentals, and fantasy. The junior- senior history classes, the sophomore English classes, and the freshman science and civics classes were scheduled to go to the library during the week. Folders appropriately bedecked with quotations were passed out to the students. These provided a blank space wherein students could jot down the names of books which appealed to them. The books on display were watched over by student monitors who answered questions about the various sections. Because National Book Week again coincided with Amer- ican Education XX'eek, there was an enlightening exhibit of mosquitoes on display in the library. This display, showing the relationship of mosquitoes to the spread of disease, was timely because of the number of returning veterans who will bring back malaria germs and other mosquito-spread di- seases. All this was arranged to emphasize to Proviso boys and girls the importance of all students in the world which they will build tomorrow-Athe importance of You in Tomor- row's W'orld.
