ln charge of cataloging over l,OOO new arrivals each month, catalog librarian Mrs. Mariorie Knapp makes addition to the carcl files. Books, books, books, books, books, books, books, books ,... 54,000 books. This is the present total of bound volumes available in the Valley College library. Librarians are finding it increasingly difficult to store these books in a building which was originally designed to hold 44,000 volumes. This number is in- creasing by leaps and bounds, since the library receives well over 1,000 books a month. Expectations are high that extra school tax income or federal aid will soon supply the much needed addi- tion to the library. Book shelves are temporarily replacing the desks that were available for students doing class work. Al- though this crowded condition exists, limited study facilities are still available. The seating capacity, how- ever, has been cut to 380. The main section of the library, which was once a study hall, is now restricted to browsing. The heavy iniiux in volumes has necessitated the hiring of extra librarians and 15 student workers to help with cataloging and shelving. Mrs. Marjorie Knapp, Mrs. June Biermann, Mrs. Barbara Toohey, Richard Mohan and Mrs. Dorothy Griffin can be found daily from 7:45 a.m. until 4 p.m. to help with any book problems. Librarians predict that by the year 1966, unless remedies are found, 16,000 books will be shelfiess.

Microfilms, magazines and newspapers enhance the practical utility of the Valley College Library. The periodicals room is a separate section away from the bound volumes. It has 500 monthly and weekly magazines, 17 newspapers, 839 microfilms, 20 indexes and 606 college catalogs available for student use. Because of crowded conditions that also exist in this section of the library, any magazine issues over five years old are put on microfilm, which is sold to students for 10 cents per magazine page. These periodi- cals also include copies of the Valley Star, Crown and Sceptre magazines, the college publications. The walls of the library are stationary until money is received to begin construction of a new addition. Until then, books, books, books, books are still the problem. The uses of microfilm are demonstrated by librarian Mrs. Barbara Toohey. The roll of film she is holding contains a picture of every page in the year's magazines in front of her. Librarian Toohey checks out the microfilm reader to sophomore Michael Mularky, who wants to use past issues of one of the library's 541 periodicals. . -Q. , , ZX: -- T1 ' I 1 'Pm R- r 1 l .Q -fr, 32 Q, ,P .- s -- - ' -'- . . -, ' f 1 I '-1 :. , 3' T, -Xa-A 411 -57.- CU
