Delighted students found that the library was expanded beyond its four walls this year. The doors to the courtyard were opened to permit sun lovers to get some fresh air and use the reference materials at the same time. Reserve books could also be taken into room 62 where stu- dents could study together. As a convenience for the audio- visual staff, the A.
