ributed twice a year to schools and public libraries which ask to be placed on a mailing list. "For the Post-primary Library", a series of annotated lists of current titles, has been appearing regularly in the _Education Gazette_ since 16 July 1951. Public libraries and larger post-primary schools will find further suggestions in the cyclostyled series "Books for Young Adults" which appears at intervals; it includes books for recreational reading and gives special consideration to suitable adult titles. Other lists are prepared for publication as the need arises. A bibliography of material published by the Service from its inception in 1942 appeared in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 1956. Since that date the following items have been added: Books for young adults: List 5, October 1956; List 6, June 1957; List 7, November 1957. Books for young people, 1957. Interim list of subject headings for New Zealand school libraries, o.p. Junior fiction. Supplements: April 1956 to September 1956; October 1956 to March 1957; April 1957 to September 1957.
