THE WOMEN'S FARM AND GARDEN UNION CLUB AND LIBRARY.
[To me Emma or "Seserseoa."1 Sni,—In your issue of January 26th Mr. 011ivant describes land workers' libraries started for the use of women working on the land. These are, we conclude, intended chiefly for recreation and amusement, and will doubtless be very useful and much appre- ciated. There is, however, another kind of library for land workers which is greatly needed, and which, I am glad to say, is shortly going to be started. This is a good reference and educational library to enable those who wish to go on with land work after the war to study the various branches of their profession. Books of this description are often too large and too costly to be included in boxes sent round the country. The Women's Farm and Garden Union are opening on February 7th a residential club at 81 Upper Baker Street, which 1.111 include a reading-room where members can consult reference and educa- tional hooks on all land questions. The club is for all members of the Farm and Garden Union and the Land-Service Corps. Any woman working for a salary on the land can become a member of the Farm and Garden Union at 5s. per year. For this subscription she will get all the advantages of the club, including the use of the library. Applications should be made to the Secretary of the Farm and Garden Union, 50 Upper Baker Street, London, N.W. 1.
Chairman, nom and Garden Union.
