EF Nurse, Librarians ,X W 72- mzf' 'Nu 're if 'W 1, ,,,,,, W ,rf 4' Edsel Ford students utilize the facilities of their modern library. Edsel Ford's library has a number of general objectives. To enrich teaching of every subject taught in the school, books and other material are provided to aid in necessary class-room assign- ments. Magazines and records for listening are a few of the recreations which are provided. Proper reading habits and wise use of leisure time are stressed. Definite instruction in the use of books and libraries is taught in order to enable the stu- dents to acquire skill in the handling of materials. Individual needs are met by developing pupils' skills and resourcefulness in their use of books and reference materials. Co-operatively, pupils are introduced to the library as early as possible in order that they may gain a continued education and cultural growth. ,f-f' 413.
