A spirit of helpfulness and sympathy exists in the library. The librarians and student assistants cheerfully recommend books, maga- zines, and newspapers for research and personal profit. Reference books serve as time-savers and short-cuts on acquirina information and are one of the most efficient means of locating desired material. An effective teaching aid is the organized program for audio-visual materials. The audio-visual librarian is assisted by student projectionists who are charged with the responsibility of showing films, film-strips, and slides. Good books are not merely the luxuries of life. They are the sustenance of life. A wealth of information is found among the many readable volumes in the Fair Park High Library.
