Main St. — Boone, North Carolina 28607 nuDOli Library Ground Breaking Ceremony At Banner Elk urounu breaking ceremonies were held last week for the new Modern library to be con structed on the campus of Lees McRae College at Banner Elk. The building was designed by Holland and Riviere Architects of Shelby, North Carolina. The general contract was awarded to W. E. Dale of Morganton for the low bid of approximately $600,000. The facility is to be constructed to hold approxi mately 63,000 volumes with space provided to expand the capacity to 100,000 volumes. Completion date is set for Aug ust 1969 to be ready for use for the fall term of 1969-70. The college's need for the new library facility is great. The present Stirling Library was finished in 1955 to accommodate a student body of 280. Richard Jackson, Head Lib rarian, stated, “Our storage, filing, and stack space is more than inadequate.

Guarantee is for one full yeer. r libraries double in size every 13 to 16 years. In order to save space and keep pace with aca demic standards, we have pur chased microfilm. We probably rank first in microfilm holdings in Junior Colleges in the state. But this does not alleviate the space problem. We rank second in the state in holdings (number r of volumes). These holdings must be housed and space must be made available to students to use these volumes.” ‘‘Our stack space is inade quate. In the next twenty-five years we will approach 100,000 volumes. We now are filled to an overflow capacity with 25, 000 volumes. “COMPLETE REAL ESTATE SERVICE” FARMS *** 40 ACRE FARM in the Cove Creek area.
