Offers Wealth of Resource Materials Mrs. Ruby Reeves B.S.; Virginia State College; Librarian; Library Club Sponsor The new library provides an attractive and quiet setting for students to read and study. 23 As one of the best equipped departments of the school, the library strived to serve the students and faculty to the fullest extent possible in the term 1970-71. One of the major factors that contributed to its success was the addition of the new reference room. Over fifty-eight different magazines, numer- ous newspapers, and an informative vertical file were among some of the reference materials made available to students in this modern facility. New chairs and tables along with individ- ual study carrels encouraged each s tudent to express a desire for further education. Students and teachers used the library from 8:00 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon. The large selection of books provided students with reading which helped to broaden their background and knowledge. Because of the quiet, com- fortable atmosphere, many students found the library to be an ideal place to study. Teachers used the films, slides, and recordings to improve their instructional program. During the year many teachers brought their classes to the library as a group to work on research papers and to learn about the organization of the library. Members of the Library Club were available to help locate materials, shelve books, and work at the charging desk, under the supervision of two full-time librarians and a library clerk. Reyburn Martin finds that the new study carrel, because of the privacy it affords, is a perfect place to study.
