Making sure that each book is tiled, is properly checked in or out, and is placed on the shelves in correct order, are just a few of the many duties of a librarian. As a service to the stu- dents, slips of paper are sent daily, to each home room, letting each student know how much he owes on his overdue book. Also, the room adjoining the library has been equipped with a phonograph which will accommodate four people at one time who wish to enjoy the music from any of the 719 available record albums on file. There are also 8786 books or more, newspapers, numerous periodicals and ref- erence materials. As a result, our library adequately supplies the students and teachers of both Jackson High and Junior College with materials to enrich and supplement their classroom activities. mai rsaraat D im' Edumf Yflfl D ,varfmenf L' Wrzzrizzn
