Excerpt from Pulp Wood of Canada The Papyrus, the paper-reed of the brook, gave us the name paper. The word library in English, and the French word libraire, preserve for us a record of the fact that books were once formed of the bark (liber) of trees. The French word livre traces its origin to the same source. The English word book comes from the anglo-saxon word boc, the beech tree; and was so derived because the early anglo-saxons, like the other Teutonic tribes, used the bark and wood of that tree for writing material. In modern times we have reverted to the ways of our ancestors and have gone back to the arboreal growth for the supply of paper to meet the world's marvellous demands.
