Children's Story Hours
Six years ago—the year after the children's story hour was
established in this Library—stories from Homer were told
with great success. This year the same stories will be told to
the older children, while a program of Greek myths has been
prepared for the younger children. A large number of copies
of the best books containing stories from Greek literature have
been purchased and will be placed on the "story hour" shelves
at the branch libraries. As heretofore, the story hour for the
older children will be held on Friday afternoons, beginning
with the first week in November. The story hour for the little
children will be held on Tuesday afternoons at the Wylie Avenue
and East Liberty branches, on Thursday afternoons at the
Lawrenceville branch, and on Friday afternoons at the West
End, ~\Iount Washington and Hazelwood branches.
The Library has just issued a pamphlet listing the stories to
be told this winter, with references to the books where they
may be found. It is entitled "Story hour courses for children
from Greek myths, the Iliad and the Odyssey." The price is
five cents postpaid.
