The major change in the arrangement of the new library is in the children's departments The first room contains books for pre-school thiough.third grade, In the second room books for the fourth grade student to the pre-ado4ebcent , E are shelved. Books for "Teens" are shelved on the wall facing the adult fiction, It is thought that this arrangement will be more attractive to both the Toone and to the younger children. L Several changes in policy were made during the year. Previously the library kept back files on the Headers Digest and the National Geographic. Othor magazine subscriptions were put with the "give away magazines," "Stow and Show" boxes ware bought and organization of the magazines began, Because much confusion resulted as f " to which magazines were to ba given away, tho "Siva Away',' policy was discontinued.. ; Our $atrons have bean very genarous with their back 11.140pl611 of magazines, When we do 1 4 unsae.+rct~axe„~lne's1~~asraw,Ear..ctal~'~~siVebinraxmrsa~s~a~,wrm,~xo-..R~,xa.,Mr.~m ..Fe»:I..~.ors•.ak:.,«.N4~~ik'~Ns'FNFS' . ~r~i'~1Jt'1# - ...~...♦}fir 4x43 V 1 r gy3 i not need back issues, we give them to the sattuol 1iLrariea for their back files. !
