လူငယ်စာကြည့်တိုက် (Youth Library) (Burmese poster distributed in Burma)
A Burmese-language photo sheet headed 'Youth Library'. Seven photographs show American children and teenagers reading at a round table, a girl lifting a small child toward a shelf, young people listening to records with headphones, a boy reading beside a glass wall onto a garden, a group reading on a patio, and a boy astride a book-carrying drum. A central text block and captions describe the library. The tell is plain-folks, ordinary children and mothers shown at ease, with glittering-generalities in the idealised setting.
