Additional Books Bring Prestige to Library Boasting the addition of more than 4,000 new books, the library staff moved to a new dimension with sessions on study skills and the installation of a small profes- sional library. Several Free Days, provid- ing students a second chance to turn in overdue books with no fines assessed, were permitted. A new librarian, Mrs. Melody Connors, was aided by assistant librarians, Mrs. Bar- bara Hawkins and Mrs. Judy Baker. All three spent a busy year cataloging new books, checking out and maintaining audio-visual matericJs and equipment, and overseeing the well-used place of study.
