DEA Helps Library Purchase Resource Books ABOVE: Teachers often ask the librarians to display books on special themes for their students to select. BELOW LEFT: Miss Mae Arlander-head librarian. Recordings, fihnstrips, newspapers, periodicals, and pamphlets are available to interested students, along with many reference and reading books. To help make better use of resources the library has filmstrip catalogues and the Reader's Guide to Periodical Litera- ture. The library tries to build up its collec- tion of books in fields where there is lack of information. Last year it was necessary to buy literature books. This year the librarians thought they might have to buy books on electronics and other industrial arts. During the past few years the federal government has been helping the library buy new books through the National Defense Education Act of l958. Before this year the government paid forty percent of the cost of books in the fields of science, mathematics, foreign lan- guages, and guidance. This year the payment was extended to cover books in the fields of English, history, reading, civics, and geography. According to the librarians, junior high students are the most enthusiastic readers. They feel junior high students read more for enjoyment. BELOW' CENTER: Mrs. Rita Drone-assistant librarian.
