Librarian Expanded by a growing collection of paperback books and the addition of audio-visual materials, the library was rechristened Instructional Cen- ter by the School Board. The 400 paperbacks were popular with both students and librarians. Since the county began to store audio-visual materials, such as filmstrips and records, at WJ instead of at a county center, they have been more readily available to teachers. An increasing number of overnight reserve books found their way into the homes of students who needed additional time. Career materials were relocated, becoming the respon- sibility of the library rather than that of the Guidance Department. The library remained open the summer of 1962 to accommodate summer school students and those struggling to complete English sum- mer reading lists. To Provide Literacy 0.11 4' 1 mg , fi V We X .
