Graded and Annotated Catalog of Books in the Public Library of the District of Columbia, for Use in the Schools of the City (Classic Reprint) by District Of Columbia Public Library Pdf
Excerpt from Graded and Annotated Catalog of Books in the Public Library of the District of Columbia, for Use in the Schools of the City The Public Library of the District of Columbia furnishes to the Public Schools of the city, through the school stations and through the cooperation of the grade teachers, 'many thousands of books during the school year. It is more and more forced on the attention of the library that numerically only a small portion of the children of Washington are being satisfactorily reached by the main library and its one branch. It is to the schools, reaching every locality, to which the library looks for help in solving the problem. A book in the hands of a teacher and recommended by her carries great weight. There fore by sending small libraries to all of the schools, more par ticularly the distant ones, we hope to reach the right child with the right book at the right time. Any teacher may select or request the library to select one book for each child in her class or any number of books up to fifty, which will be sent to her by the library and called for at the end of two months, after notification, unless she desires to retain them for a longer period. For the convenience of the teachers and to advise them of the material to be had for supplementary work and for pleasurable reading this graded and annotated catalog of books has been prepared. It has been arranged by subject that the material on the work being studied may be readily found. There is also an author index. Many of the books listed in a certain grade will be found useful in a lower or higher grade, the grading being only suggestive.
