Not only is Walters a librarian, but she is also an enrichment teacher. A new face heads the main F f library this year, Mrs. Eli-A zabeth Santa. She describes Xr I' I' ♦ her career move as quite a step up. It is a larger school and a larger library. It was a very good job opportunity.

She worked in the High School Library last year, but transferred this fall. W' Susie Chew. Cynthia Walters and Elizabeth Santa. Talking is giving a book review rec-ommendation to student groups. She also enjoys being on the floor and suggesting. The drawback of her job is the desk work. I get bored with cataloguing, Getting to know the students' interest and guiding them in their reading, Chew said is the most important aspect of her job. 'The students are constantly showing me they're interested in so many things, Chew said, I'm surprised at their sophisticated interests. Chew's volunteers run the circulation system. They shelve books and place them on reserve for students. My library volunteers arc my right hand. They enable me to give more individual reading guidance. They're invaluable. Our services would be much more limited without them, Chew said. Everything in the library is automat ed, and they use an IBM computer. The cataloguing and technical services arc conducted on the computer. There is a new system in the library that students use to find articles written on their subject. It's an on line Database Service called Dialogue. It is a huge data bank of information updated continually. Students are learning how to use it through the classmate program. The Library offers valuable services and information at students' request. It's about time you checked it out! ! 104
