Library invokes study and research Our aim is to supplement and enrich the classroom, and with that in mind, we try to run a good library ' commented librarian Helen Holt. The library is the one room in the building that becomes science — math — home economics — art — English — foreign lan- guage — commercial — social science — industrial arts — music, as all of these classes use the library. After 14 years, the li- brary is better than ever equipped to serve the needs of students with nearly 20,000 books and hundreds of current and back issues of magazines. Although more than 600 stu- dents use the library every day, we endeavor to have a person-to- person relationship with each one, expressed Lillian Cole, librarian. Mike Duff, Dave Little and Jim Ogle (far above) use the library for research. Debbie Patrick (left) looks for a good book. A student (middle right) researches a government project.
