Some of the useful information acquired is the classi- fication of all books, and the use of reference books. The staff of boys and girls receive an instruction period in Library Science before they begin working. In this brief period they learn, among other things, the location of books in the library in order to be able to find, when necessary, any book within its walls. Stamp- ing and processing books is also part of their job. Sponsoring the staff is Central's librarian, Miss Orah Hahn.
