If a student is to be open-minded, he does not close the doors to learning at dismissal time each day. He seeks to enrich his education by using the subjects he is studying as a starting point in his desire for education. He is ever aware of the world about him, and attempts to broaden his own views of it through extracurricular reading. Long Branch High School is extremely proud of its ever-expanding library where a student may further his learning. Its well-stocked shelves now contain more than 8,500 volumes. At the student’s disposal are current periodicals, newspapers, reference books, and an abundance of modern fiction. The staff of the library, ably assisted by the Library Club, is willing to help in every way possible. Together they maintain a quiet, orderly atmosphere, conducive for the continuation of learning. Working along with the library is the Audio-Visual Aids Department which makes available movies and film strips to assist the teacher in the practical application of the subject he is teaching. Mr. Levin prepares to show one of the many films available to students. LIBRARY The quiet atmosphere of the library makes it a perfect place for study or recreational reading. 14
