Cartons of new books, arriving every two weeks, provided fresh material for students using the libraryis resources. All new books were set up for display near the entrance to the library to attract attention. Also new to the library were two type- writers and a set of Philosophers' Ency- clopedia. A portable microfilm reader fa- cilitated use of hundreds of microfilms, in- cluding a complete file of the Arizona Daily Star from 1879 to l966. lVlicrofilms made more room possible for current magazines. Students took the opportunity to use the library's facilities every Tuesday and Thurs- day night from 7 to 9. Between 20 and 30 students always showed up for those sessions which made the project profitable according to Mr. Hayden, a Tucson High librarian. Another feature of the library was a Xerox photocopying machine. For the small price of a nickel, any industrious student could have a passage of a book copied. Model United Nations participants and other students made use of the vided for more extensive use of library equipment and made possible four library conference rooms during and after school. These rooms pro- individual study and group discussion. 20
