This increase in library activity has placed in the librarians’ hands the demanding responsibility of selecting reputable books suited to the various interest levels of the student body. Supplying the classroom with enrichment in the form of recordings, movies and filmstrips, the audio-visual club is also under the general supervision of the library’s secretary, Dorothy Prevette. The club members, who are usually trained in a junior high audio visual program, show approximately two hundred films per semester. In planning future projects, the librarians hope to acquire copying machines, enabling the student to reproduce pictures and refer¬ ence materials that cannot be taken from the library. 13
