Library Construction
Hits Halfway Mark
Construction , of the new wings to the Pattee Library are pro
ceeding on schedule, Ralph W. McComb, College librarian, said
yesterday. Just returned from a conference in Harrisburg on con
struction progress, McComb said that about 44 per cent of con
struction has been completed. and that crews are now putting in the
plaster and the glass 'windows.
The entire addition is expected
to be completed by late next
spring, McComb said. Work 'still,
to be done includes the floors,
lighting. wood work, partitions,
and installation of the stacks and
mechanical equipment. The grad
ing and paving of roadways to
the building has been started
and should be done within a
month.
I:loom For Education Articles
The new 'library will have four'
additional reading rooms provid
ing facilities fo r 300 students.
One room will house the present
Icirculation 'desk, and another will
handle the periodical service of
the library. All bound and un
bound periodicals will be placed
in this second room. This plan
is expected to relieve some of
the congestion now found at the
reference desk.
One of the new first floor
rooms will house articles concern
ing the School of Education in
cluding psychology, physical edu
cation, and vocational education.
The special collections of books
not now available to students
be'cause of lack of display space
will be in another fir s t floor
room. Another innovation will be
the conversion of th e present
catalogue and order room to an
additional reading „room to house
the overflow of students' from
the reserve 'kook room across the
hall.

More Desks in Stacks
One or two listening rooms
may be constructed in this read
ing room also in order to pro -_
vide listening facilities for rec
ords and transcriptions. The cat
alogue an d order departments
will be moved 'to one floor of
the book stacks.
In the stacks will be 160 indi
vidual stud y• desks, or carrels,
mainly for graduate students, and
six faculty study rooms.
In addition. McComb said one
of the most frequent of student
complaints regarding the present
library has been alleviated in the
new 'wings.. He referred to the
lighting facilities, which in the
new wings will be at least three
times the brightness found in
the present reading rooms. Al
though ' the rear wall will be
very nearly a solid bank of trans
parent glass, he said, little direct
glare' from the sun is expected,
as the wall will be facing the
northwest.
All in all, McComb said, the
student should expect with the
addition of the new wings greatly
improved service and study fa
cilities. He asked that students
and faculty try to be patient with
existing conditions, however, un
til construction is completed.
