C. Thcj “books” were clay tab lets,' a form c*f recorded knowledge Which lasted for 1500 years (the printed book ha 3 a history of only 500 years so far). Papyrus rolls (a kind of paper) and clay tablets go back to 3500 B. C., ■ but the earliest surviving ones (on display in various mu seums and rare book libraries) are from 2500 B. C, In As syria, the ancient library of clay tablets in Nineveh ground COO B. C. contained 10,000 works, with methodical catalogs. Aulus Cellius, a sixth cen tury Greek, claimed that he was first to found a public library and by the fourth 1 century B. C., trere were said to be 23 public libraries in Rome. These were prim arily composed of papyrus rolls. The book as we know it today, with bound pages, came into general use in the fourth century A. D., using animal skins (vellum) for the pages. The name Codex is the one given to a book com posed of manuscript (hand written rather than printed) pages. The largest library collec tion in the world is the Li brary of Congress, Washing ton, D. C., with over 15 mil lion books and pamphlets. The British Museum fits counter part) in London, England, has over six million printed books.

SANDERS Director Fttticmr Restoeal Library advertising literature, this one from the Eastman Kodak -Company which makes micro film viewers, the volume of Man’s knowledge has been estimated to have doubled in the past decade and will probably double again in the next five to seven years. Just one day’s accumulation of new knowledge exceeds what it took generations to gather only a few centuries ago. Public libraries face a real challenge to cope with this flood of new knowledge. One solution to the spare problem has been the use of photography to reduce the size of the material to be stored—the process of micro filming. In this area, we have taken advantage of this technology for the storage of magazines: rather than having back issues bound into books (the old method of making them available for reference), we purchase our back issues in the form of rolls of film. Formerly the rolls came to us in 35 mm. size, the size used in most cameras for color slides. But, in the in terest of even more space saving, we are receiving the microfilmed magazines in 16 mm. size, that used by many movie cameras. Bank Promotion To Mrs. Spivey Austin T.
