Library furthers school’s objectives The library has furthered the school’s objectives by pro- viding materials for all subjects and all interests of pupils and teachers. Having an active teaching function, it suggests the reading of books which might be unknown or neglected. In meeting the needs and interest of the pupils and teachers, the library has organized, catalogued, shelved or filled, and displayed its books and materials so that they may be easily found and used. The library is also used as a working and reading center for enjoying books, for doing research work, and for using all sorts of printed materials. In addition to learning to use library tools, the student also acquires the ability to use factual books and to form the habit of using libraries and ‘brary materials. : MR. ENRICO A. PAPURELLO: B.S., Clar- ion State College; M.Ed., Duquesne Uni- versity. Librarian. Audio Visual Aids, Baseball Coach, Library Club Advisor.
