Life is not so easy for Mrs. Virginia Mc- Kinnon, even though the library aides do help considerably. Keeping things in order and helping repair is one of her many jobs along with Mr. Duane Honerman. Together, they both keep the library going strong by adding new materials, and better ideas. Checking Out Books lsn't Everything to Being an Assistant Library usage is directly related to classroom activity. The collection of 16000 volumes was chosen by faculty request to support and provide materials for their classes. The resource centers have eased the students load on the library. Units are checked out by teachers to the centers. Before this, the library would have to be closed if a class was using the library. In 1968, the library was converted to a media center. Audiovisual materials were gathered from class- rooms to be catalogued and clas- sified. A full-time clerical assistant, and two full-time teacher's aides are in the centers. Twenty-one student aides are available to help the students and teachers locate ma- terials. Studying and looking at the T.V. at the same time? Listening to music and watching T.V. are main activities in the English-Social Centers. Libraryf25
