THE TIMES’ SERIES ON LITERATURE WINS LIBRARIAN'S PRAISE

"The Times is to be congratulated on the publication of a series of articles on books we can not afford to miss.” Luther L. Dickerson, city librarian, said today in reference to the "Monuments of Literature” series written exclusively for The Times readers by Tristram Coffin, Times staff writer. "The project interests me particularly,” he said, "because every day scores of readers ask the public libraries for guidance in the selection of books of outstanding merit. "Now we are being introduced to experiences and ideas which have challenged the attention of the entire world at one time or another; they are more thrilling and satifying than anything that has happened to more than a few of us. I foresee city-wide interest in the stories The Times is publishing and I anticipate spirited discussion as well as much reading of the books mentioned.” Paramaribo is the capital of Dutch Guiana.
