Library Ready for Work or Relaxation Librarian - Miss Ann Sebastian Every student learns to appre¬ ciate the library at Elkin High School. Whether the student is looking for a book, studying for a test, writing a term paper, or just wanting to look at the magazines, the library is always there to sup¬ ply his demands. The library is well organized, thanks to the con¬ siderate attention and hard work of our librarian. Miss Ann Se¬ bastian, and the library assistants. The recently acquired space and a better selection of books and other material has made the li¬ brary more comfortable, as well as of more benefit to the students. Current magazines are always favorites in the library.
