BOOKSTORE Mrs. Charlotte Esler manages the bookstore and tries to please the student body. Those cash registers just keep on ringing! The most indispensable function of the Fairleigh Dickinson Campus is located on the lower level of the Student Union Building. It is the University Bookstore, run by Mrs. Esler. In addition to carrying all standard texts and required read- ings for University courses, the bookstore has an excellent selec- tion of related books in both hard and paper-bound editions. Such basic essentials as pads, pens, erasers, and pencils are, of course a on sale here. However, such essential frivolities of college life as FDU monogrammed mugs, ash- trays, pennants, t-shirts, stationery, and stuffed animals can also be purchased at the bookstore. The addition of a cosmetic and a jew- elry line are quite pleasing to the co-eds of Fairleigh Dickinson. Prices for all articles on sale in the bookstore are, on the whole, quite reasonable. The staff is doing a most important job quite well. 14

LIBRARY e u-. h .- -. . c.- h .- - -. - C. 4- n e - --. - .- .- - - Mrs. Helen Stewart lDirector 0f the libraryi One of the most notable physical changes on the Fairleigh Dickinson campus this semester is the tiface-liftingii of Messier Library. Many new facilities have been added and old ones have been expanded. A study room is located on the lower mezzanine level at the site of the former periodicals room. Booths called carels, consisting of a desk and a chair. are set up in this room. These are for private studying. For students who wish to study together and discuss their work, six study halls have been set up at this site. The new periodicals room is situated on the ground Hour of the library. The periudivals room now has over 000 pub- lications. i000 government pamphlets, and L300 general pamphlets available for student usage. Another change in the library this year is the addition of a iiNew Jersey Room? Books. historical documents. pamphlets, and maps about the state of New Jersey are located in this room. The possession of this material by the library is a boon to students doing research work on aspects of New Jersey history. Various other changes have occurred in the library. These include new facilities for the AVA office. the micro-fllm room, and greatly needed classroom space. In all, a good attempt has been made to expand Messier Library at a rate proportionate to FDUis rapid physical growth.
