PLANS for a circulating library ser vice for isolated residents of North ern Australia, New Guinea, and Papua have been completed.
Three thousand books —the first instal
ment —will be despatched from Sydney early in the New Year. Patrol Officers, police, travellers —in fact, any trust worthy person —will be enlisted as car riers to lonely homes, where reading matter is a luxury.
The books, which will come from the National Library, Canberra, include all kinds of fairly recent works and fiction.
