Miss Lois Lenski Greenacres R. F. D. 2 Torrington, Connecticut

Dear Miss Lenski:

It is not often that our library mail brings such a delightful surprise as it did today. Your letter, offering us some of the charming illustrations from A NAME FOR OBED, is unusual good fortune. To you, and to Miss Phillips, our thanks are due.

We can promise you that we will have the drawings framed, and that we will not file them away in a cabinet or picture collection, but will hang them where they may be enjoyed not only by children, but also by their elders!

Our work is not so directly with children as that of public libraries; that is, children do not frequent our rooms. Our traveling libraries reach people all over the state; and at various times we send out exhibit material, as, for instance, for the approaching Book Week. If it would meet with your approval, we could also, upon occasion and to libraries which we know would appreciate and feature such lovely pictures, send the drawings as part of an exhibit. At other times, they would hang in the State Library, in a group, bringing their lightness of spirit to some spot where patrons would be certain to see and enjoy them.
