20 LIBRARIES A most cosmopolitan group is served by the various divisions of the Teachers College library. There students, professors, in- structors mingle freely. This year the library has expanded and now includes a new periodical room for magazines and current newspapers and a room devoted to children's literature and Missouriana. Improvements have been made in the main libra- ry in Pickier Memorial Building, in the library at the Ophelia Parrish Demonstration School, and in the library at the Green- wood Demonstration School. A fund of $6,000 was received by the Teachers College from the Carnegie Foundation to assist in buying new books for the libraries. The endowment, which is in addition to the usual state fund given for the purchase of new books, must be used within the next three years. To Miss Ethel Hook, director of libraries; Miss Sylva Brown, librarian; and Miss Clara Yadon, cataloguer, go the responsi- bility for guiding an efficient part of the Teachers College.
