Все в библиотеку! Каждый батрак, бедняк, колхозник должен стать читателем библиотеки (Everyone to the Library! Every Farmhand, Poor Peasant and Collective Farmer Must Become a Library Reader)
A crowded reading room: a bearded peasant in a red shirt reads at the centre, with children in pioneer ties, women in headscarves and men in caps queuing behind him toward a librarian's desk stacked with books, under a wall newspaper and a portrait of Lenin. The headline calls 'everyone' to the library, and the room shows everyone already there: the bandwagon tell.
