The library also received a total of 100 periodicals and newspapers on the national, state, and local level for research work or browsing. Innovations were a prominent feature of the library this year. Under head librarian Mrs. Counts, the li¬ brary was rearranged, forming one complete refer¬ ence room to allow a reading room uncluttered by shelves. All the audio-visual equipment was placed under the librarians’ administration, and a number of filmstrips and recordings were collected and placed for student reference in the back room. An efficient staff, including the new librarian, Mrs. English, stood ready to answer numerous questions, check out materials, and mend well-used books. They maintained the necessary silence, and saw to it that the 300-400 daily users of their department worked to the fullest in the library. Susan Agee finds herself in a familiar predicament: getting instructions on library eti¬ quette from Mrs. Counts. 23
