Librarians adjust to new surroundings Librarians and students are enjoying a newly constructed IMC this year. The octagon shaped IMC offers the kind of flexibility and variety of materials which the classroom cannot. The IMC includes large and small seminar rooms, a well equipped media lab and lounge areas for reading. Along with typing areas and a film preview room, each teacher has an individual work station on the upper level of the IMC. There is also new, modern furniture and individual study carrels for student use A change in the IMC procedure includes an IMC card to check out mate- rials. Both librarians and student assist- ants work very hard to keep the IMC run- ning in the efficient way for which it was designed Top Row 1 Dan Keyser, Mrs, Geyer.
