BOOK-LISTS
A. L. A. Annotated Lists—Books for Boys and Girls. A Selected List Compiled by Caroline M. Hewins, Librarian of the Hartford Public Library. 1904. $0.15. A most judicious and literary standard.
A List of Books Recommended for a Children’s Library—Compiled for the Iowa Library Commission by Annie Carroll Moore, Supervisor of Children’s Rooms in the New York City Public Library. Another excellent and practical guide.
Books for Boys—Special Bulletin No. 6. January, 1906. The Chicago Public Library. A generous selection for boys from twelve to eighteen; an inclusive list, marked more by vigour than by refinement of a fastidious nature.
