LIBRARY HAS BEEN A SERVICE McCormack Memorial Library offers to the Junior College students excellent facilities for research and for leisure reading. The Library contains 21,000 volumes and receives by subscription 165 periodicals including five daily papers, indexes, and microfilm. College students find, also, that the Library gives them a pleasant as well as an artistic atmosphere for study. Three original oil paintings dating from the Fifteenth and Seventeenth centuries hang on the walls. An original medieval illuminated antiphonary hand-wrought on vellum, and several marble and oil reproductions are among the art treasures on permanent display in the Library. In the background may be seen The Easter Sacrifice, one of the original oils, by Francesco Solemina, 1657- 1747, Italian painter. The Library has an outstanding reference collection which by frequent acquisitions is kept current and complete. Encyclopedias and dictionaries, both general and special, yearbooks, indexes, and government documents are among the materials which make up the reference department.

CENTER FOR STUDENTS AND FACULTY N ., ' V1 v is A , .3 ,.., . 4 Wm? ,.,..Q .ng Morning hours in the Library catch students in various moods: some face the day with books and determinationg others find early-hour concentration difficult if not impossible. Here the students are shown at 8 a.m., a brief half hour after the Library opens. The Card catalog is the guide to the Library collections. All books and bound periodicals are cataloged under author, subject, and title. Many volumes, such as short stories and collected biographies, are analyzed according to their contents.
