MARGARET BAILIE BS—Converse AB—Emory ELAINE HEBERT BA—McNeese Stale Col. Tommy Dealing and Carolyn King browse through the new books before they go on the library shelf. Library Helps Develop An Interest In A Variety Of Books Kathryn Brown makes sure she has at least five books listed on her bibliography. Whether you refer to it as la bibliotheque, bibliotheca, or la biblioteca, the library at Richmond is an indispensable aid to all students. Miss Bailie and Mrs. Hebert spend a great deal of their time helping students find the books they want, showing them where to go for special information, and working so that one and all may develop an active interest in books of all types. We are greatly indebted to these two ladies for showing us that a whole new world may be found in the storehouse of books available to us in our library. Mrs. Hebert explains to library assistants Richard Knapp and Irvin Guy a point about the Dewey Decimal System. 29
