Two New Publications of the Library
The Library has just issued in pamphlet form Part 7 of its
Classified catalogue, and a "List of good stories to tell to
children under twelve years of age." Part 7 not only lists all
the works of prose Fiction in the Library on July 1, 1902, but
also contains a supplementary list of the fiction added to the
collection from that date to October 1, 1905. This supplement
will not of course appear in the book edition of the catalogue.
because that ends with the earlier date, but its material will be
incorporated in the first supplement to that work. The books
are entered both under author and title and grouped according
to language—English fiction. German fiction, French fiction,
etc. Xo book notes were written specially for this part of the
catalogue, but those which were already on the catalogue cards
were reprinted. Including the supplement, the pamphlet contains
444 pages, a stronger binding being used than on preceding
parts, on account of anticipated hard usage. The
price is 25 cents; postpaid 40 cents.
The "List of good stories" is reprinted from the December
1905 number of the Monthly Bulletin, with some slight additional
matter in the introduction and an alphabetic index of
the books in which the stories are to be found, giving publisher
and price of each book. The introduction contains a brief account
of the story hour conducted by this Library, and some
suggestions as to how to prepare and tell stories to children.
The price of the pamphlet is five cents postpaid.
