Libraries in Bombed Centres: Some Reports

Abstract

THE destruction caused by aerial attack to a number of libraries in different parts of the country is not really news. Tens of thousands of people know the facts regarding their own districts, but the news is now coming through regarding the general situation, and, on the suggestion of an American correspondent, we present here a picture based on various reports. A certain vagueness here and there may be due to the censorship of the Press Bureau, who have had the material before them.
