LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

With the advent of the New
Year, we are reminded of Mary
Carolyn Davies' beautiful poem,
entitled "A New Year." This
poem is available at the Slater
Library in a volume called
"1,000 Quotable Poems." The
poem is as follows:

A New Year

Here's a clean year,
A white year.
Reach your hand and take
it.

You are
The builder,
And no one else can make
it.

See what it is
That waits here,
whole and new;

It's not a year only,
But a world
For you!!

Somehow the New Year
seems very attractive when we
think of it not as just another
year, but as a world, especially
for us. Let's make this world
of 1947 bigger than that of
1946 by doing more reading.
Reading the right kind of books
helps to open up greater ave-
nues of thought, at the same
time broadening one's horizon.
The librarian extends to each
reader a very special invitation
to come to the library at every
opportunity during 1947, and
to make this new "world" the
brightest one in our own per-
sonal history by reading en-
lightening books and maga-
zines.

May we extend to each of
you our sincere wishes for a
prosperous and happy New
Year with more time than ever
for reading books and maga-
zines.
