Library Mr. Sidney Galfsmd A function of the school which has until the present time been given little recognition, but deserves a great deal of credit, is the school library. Our library at the present time houses well in excess of 12,000 books on diverse and interest- ing subjects. With the help of Mr. Galfand, ably assisted by Mrs. Samuels, and the Library's forty-seven aides, it is possible to find a book on almost any subject. The library serves three hundred students daily. Mr. Galfand says that television has been a big stimulus to reading, increas- ing the number of readers by twenty-Hve per cent. To satisfy this growing demand Tag Day was instituted and in two years has netted the library one hundred seventy dollars. As an extra service this term the library aides pub- lished a newspaper, the Book Worm Echo. a Q. gp ar is-5, M' rg V Check out the books. Wdliams, Wolfberg, Hoban, Swerdloff, Brockman, Levine.
