DAVID GUSTON Librarian LIBRARY Situated between the college and seminary buildings, Bethel’s library serves both schools as a storehouse of knowledge—and as a haven of quiet. The building houses listening rooms, the Baptist General Conference historical archives, and a prayer chapel, as well as librarians’ offices, reading room, and stacks. A steady stream of new books has increased Bethel’s collection to nearly 58,000 volumes and necessitated six more ranges of shelves. College and seminary periodicals now occupy the north wall. Shelved beneath the displayed current issues are several back issues of each magazine. The new. bibliography center provides ready access to the card catalogue, pamphlet collection, and periodical and subject bibliographies.
