THE COUGAR CRY 3 SEPTEMBER 1996 PAGE 9
Books. Books, and Now, Even More Books
“The present Learning Resource
Center was designed for a student
population of less than 1,000. Today,
nearly 2,000 are enrolled. The Cen
ter was designed to hold 25,000
books. Today over 50,000 books are
on the overcrowded bookshelves,”
says Fay Byrd, Director of LearniNg
Resources.
The Learning Resource/Student
Center will house an up-to-date and
state-of-the-art Library and Media
Production Center for the present and
the future. The Library will be an in
formation center in which one can use
the Internet, Family Search, First
Search, and data bases to gain imme
diate access to the past, present, and
anticipated future. The additional
space will provide more storage space
for our own local history and a grow
ing collection of genealogy resources.
Technology will allow users to dial
into our own information data bases.
This facility was made possible by
North Carolina legislative action and
the people of the state who voted for
the bond, Nov. 2, 1993. Mr. George
Holmes, House of Representatives for
the Fifth Congressional District, along
with a delegation of Representatives
visited Wilkes Community College
and did a needs assessment of facili
ties for our campus. He became one
of our strong allies to allow the people
to vote for the bond. Today we see
the beginning of something great that
is about to happen on the campus of
Wilkes Community College. FB
