The library staff, under the direction of Mrs. Barbara Asmann, is more than able to help in all ways to further the educa- tion and progress of the students. All faculty and students enjoy the convenience of our constantly growing Media Center. Besides the 146 general and professional magazines and four daily newspapers presently received, plans for next year include the inauguration of The New York Times on microfilm.
