Now we have nine members and six student assistants. “Then the library was not open in the evenings, it was not even equipped with electric lights. It was open only about 44 hours a week at that tim, now it is open 80 hours. “The library had just been moved into this building, which did not then include the stack room, and all of the books were shelved in the main reading room.” FOUR 0.
