High Point High School Library Open for Daily Use, Oct. 27, 1924

Library Service

The library, newly organized by the librarian at the High Point High School, is open for daily use. For the first seven days it was open, there were 527 books in circulation. The library was given to the school by the senior class of ’23.

Miss Shover had a helper for each period in the day, so that she may devote her time to students who need her help about their reference work. The books are so kept that any student in the school can find immediately the book which he desires. The books of fiction are on one shelf, essays on another, and biography on another. So it is not necessary for any student to ask Miss Shover where any book is. There is a reading list posted in every room and in the library that shows what books you can read to get credit for, and the number of credits that will be given on each. The present system is striving to make the library service as good as any in the state.
