After Year of Studg, Chief' Librarian Returns to Real Work Mr. G. T. Johnson, chief librarian, spent a year in graduate study and returned to find that his work was still piled high. Books are his business and one of his maior concerns is how to turn students on to extensive reading. One of the new programs which he put in operation upon his return was his offer of service to teachers of any field in reviewing books in the library for classes. On one such occasion, he reviewed William Styron's Confessions of Nat Turner and Ol' Prophet Nat ,by Daniel Panger for a class in freshman English in the 13 College Curricu- lum Program. Both books were analyzed and a few lines of comparison were established. As a result of student inquiry, Mr. Johnson wrote to Mr. Panger and he is now enioying a personal correspondence with Mr. Panger. Students who want to request that certain books be added to the library collection should remember that Mr. Johnson is always open for such suggestions. All he wants is that the students know something about the book and give valid reasons for making the re- quests. Mr. Johnson enioys classical music himself and has sponsored armchair concerts all year. fax 'f W 1 .gg fr, ti l .f5,Q95iQ' ' .c... 3: 4 Y ybfi. .r -4,7 T, , When Mr. Johnson places a book on the shelves in the library, he before closing time The amount of paper work involved in knows what the book is all about.
