Frances Jenkins Olcott and Carnegie Library's Chrildren's Department

Abstract

"Let the library establish the reading habit in a child, teach him to choose good books and think independently and he is likely to continue reading for the rest of his life, at least he will never lose that tendency to think and idealize which was developed by books read when he was at an impressionable age.”

—Frances Jenkins Olcott
