The questions of Justice, Punishment and Freedom have come to the front in these, past few weeks. What are they literally? Do they have different meaning to each individual?

We feel a spirit of omnipotence and of public trust, and we hope that we shall always use that spirit with justice.

Leon Losee The Library Corner EdGnQQEBEQQEMQSQQQEEns What a thrill it is for a child to open a new book. Smell the freshness of the crisp, new pages. This is an opportunity your librarians have even before you do. We take special pride in them. We handle them so often before they are ready for the public. Can you see why we are upset, when they come back damaged? Do you realize how much time is spent with each book? Each one has to be cataloged and classified. Information is typed on as many as 5 to 6 cards per book. We place book pockets, date slips, and library seals in each book. So you can see by this time, we become quite attached to them. Childrens books are expensive. They need a durable library binding. When you check books out, you and your parents are responsible for their safe return. Very often we are forced to impose a fine; for abusing them. Books should be precious to all of us. Lets encourage our children to respect them.
