The Library In 1961 Asheville-Buncombe Technical Institute’s first library went into operation. It contained only 300 volumes and a few periodicals which had been adopted from the Asheville City Building and moved into a little room in A-Building. Lacking a full-time librarian, the staff developed their own cataloging system, shelved these treasured volumes, and made them available to the student body. The A-B Tech students and the high school students who attended the institute for trade credits utilized the library and in 1962 it expanded across the hall into A-l . It wasn’t until 1963 that the library received its first state support. With a hearty welcome, a representative from Raleigh came to the Institute and set up the Dewey Decimal cataloging system. The Institute received its first books for professional use both in technical and trade curriculums. For the first time, we were recognized and appreciation flowed freely. Books began coming out of a central processing system in Raleigh where they were already catalogued and ready to receive the school seal and be shelved. 12
