The architects, Dean Kerby-Miller added, will try to draft remodeling plans in accordance to recommendations turned in by students last year. Heading the list are plans for a periodical room, a smoker, wash rooms, and expanded facilities for music listening. She added, however, that the space problem in the library is still sovero due to the need for record listening equipment, and that a new location must be found for record files and phonographs.

Book Collection Cut

"The purpose of the remodeling is to give Radcliffe students library facilities equal to that of Harvard undergraduates in Lamont Library," Dean Kerby-Miller said. As the first step to duplicate Lamont's course books, library officials will cut a 20,000 book deadweight from the present 100,000 volume collection. This cut will permit purchasing new books and increasing the number of duplicates for courses. Books for advanced study have already been moved to the New England Deposit Library, where they are available on order, and others valuable for graduate study may be sent to Widener.
