Library Sets
Official Date
For Opening
. The new date for the official
opening of the addition to the
main library at the University
of North Carolina is Friday,
February 29 1952, according to
Charles E. Rush, Librarian.
The opening" date, originally
set for October 12, was delayed
because of . the ; scarcity of ma
terials and delays in their deli
very, Rush explained.
Rush said that the more formal
part of the opening program will
emphasize the role of the Library
in the successful operation of the
American university.
This will be followed by an in
formal discussion of the relation
of the library to teaching and
research, a reception, and an in
spection of the more than doubly
enlarged building.
In the late fall, Rush said, books
and manuscript materials will be
moved and all service depart
ments will be installed in their
new or remodeled quarters.
By February, he said, ; "we
hope to be settled and operat
ing fairly smoothly, in order that
visitors may note particularly
the interrelationship of depart
ments with the bookstack, and
special facilities for research arid
authorship, and the expanded
areas, for study."
