Typical 'Children's Found at Local Library By DORIS LEE American public libraries lend nearly half a billion books a year. About 60 percent of these books are borrowed by children and young people below voting age who make up about one-half of the registered borrowers. These findings are the result of a survey of public libraries made in 1949 and published in book form by Dr. Robert Leigh in 1952, and have brought into sharp focus work with children and young people in public and school libraries. In his report Dr. Leigh says, "Children's rooms and children's librarians have been the classic success of the public library." Anaheim's Junior Library is typical of those children's rooms throughout the United States. Located downstairs in the main library on Los Angeles St., it occupies two cheerful rooms well-stocked with books selected to entertain, teach, inform, and enthrall children from earliest years up through ninth grade. Library hours are from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays. Every weekday afternoon after school is out the library comes alive with students checking out and returning books, leafing through reference books for school assignments, or just reading quietly at low tables. Under the guidance of Miss Phyllis Irshay, children's libra are numbered among the library's borrowers, she says. Tiny pre-schoolers come in with their mothers who check out picture books for them. Miss Irshay has been at the Anaheim Library for the past two months, having come here from the midwest. Pior to that, Miss Elya Haskett, for many years associated with the Anaheim library, was children's librarian. Miss Haskett is currently divisional librarian of public services. A featured part of the Junior Library is the Fun and Fantasy Story Hour conducted every Tuesday during the summer month. These storytellers rotate every week in reading aloud to a gathering of some 35 children (The number swells to 70 in the summer). Miss Irshay takes turns with Miss Anita Decker and Mrs. Evelyn Peterson for these 45-minute sessions. "We stress folktales in our storytelling," says Miss Irshay. "Usually something humorous and imaginative. We steer clear of anything depressing or frightening. Even our Halloween hob-goblins are likeable characters." The old classics are not ignored either. Stories are interspersed with a little poetry, she says. And in the summer when the age bracket is somewhat lower, finger exercises and stretching periods Party, to be held Dec year, for little girls dolls.

"We often have schools here for lessons in using the library," said Irshay. "And occasionally give a talk at school." Asked what types of most popular with child irshay commented, "To on the age. But generally go for the science fiction the romance and mysteries." And just how has tel ANAHEIM GAZEI ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER years up through ninth grade. Library hours are from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays. Every weekday afternoon after school is out the library comes alive with students checking out and returning books, leafing through reference books for school assignments, or just reading quietly at low tables. Under the guidance of Miss Phyllis Irshay, children's librarian, even the younger children are encouraged to use the card catalog to find and check out their own books. "They can use their parents' cards. But we encourage them to have their own cards." Even children who can't read storytelling," says Miss Irshay. "Usually something humorous and imaginative. We steer clear of anything depressing or frightening. Even our Halloween hobgoblins are likeable characters." The old classics are not ignored either. Stories are interspersed with a little poetry, she says. And in the summer when the age bracket is somewhat lower, finger exercises and stretching periods relieve the tension of sitting. The average age for her youthful listeners is six, she says. Later, it is hoped, there will be a story time for pre-schoolers. Among other activities provided to keep the children interested is an annual Doll's Tea Adventist Church Carolers Set for Missions Appeal Members of the Anaheim Seventh-day Adventist Church today readied themselves for their fourth annual local and worldwide mission appeal. Pastor E. H. Lehnhoff heads up the local drive, geared toward a total of $1800.00. Old-fashioned Christmas caroling in the streets will be revived by the members of the church beginning Saturday, December 2, and continuing through December 24. The project will be part of the annual Adventist program designed to provide medical education and welfare aid to the needy. Some 200 families will take part in the caroling-end house to house calls. The project will have two purposes: To "bring to the community music which embodies the true spirit of Christmas" and to "provide the community an opportunity to share is blessings with less fortunate both locally and abroad." according to Pastor Lehnhoff. Dr. Harold Neslund Named To Adventist Church Post All church offices were filled this week when the Anaheim Seventh-day Adventist Church held annual election according to Pastor E. H. Lehnhoff.

Trapp was selected to serve as First Deacon and New Sabbath School superintendent. She will be assisted by John Schlieffer, and Mrs. Sherman Cross, Youth Leader for the Church will be Bill Cartledge, who has headed this section of the church's work since the organization three and one-half years ago. Mrs. Norma Holm will serve as church Treasurer, and Mrs. Lolaee Bergman will serve as church clerk.

LA PALMA at EUCLID, ANAHEIM PRospect 2-1617 dren's Room' cal Library Party, to be held Dec. 19 this year, for little girls and their dolls. Tea and cookies are served. Every April 1st is set aside for Pinnochio's Birthday Party given in honor of a very old Pinnochio doll in the library that has been the children's favorite for years. The affair is usually highlighted by guest puppeteers or doll makers who entertain. "We often have school classes here for lessons in the method of using the library," sava Miss Irshay. "And occasionally I will give a talk at school." Asked what types of books are most popular with children, Miss Irshay commented, "It depends on the age. But generally, boys go for the science fiction, girls for the romance and both for mysteries." And just how has television affected our youthful readers? Both Miss Haskett and Miss Irshay share the opinion that it has helped to bring children to the library, if anything. "The children who never come in wouldn't have used the library anyway," comments Miss Haskett. "But this is counterbalanced by the fact that many television programs have actually sent children to the library in search of more information." "Disney has done much to inspire reading," savs Miss Irshay. When the Davy Crockett craze was on I couldn't keep enough Davy Crockett books on hand to supply the demand. And the same lies for the Westerns trend, and even some science programs. "Getting the children into the library in quest of Davy Crockett or some such is a big step," she continues. "It gives us the opportunity to direct them into other channels of reading." ANAHEIM GAZETTE—9 ANAHEIM CALLFORNIA Thursday, November 20, 1961 Safeway Steaks ... al Safeway Superb Beef 1.
