Nqtionol Housing Librcry Opens

Karl A. Baer, chief librarian of the National Housing Center, has been readying the nation's first reference library on home building for the opening date of October 3. "We should be able to supply the staff, the building member, and the general public with an unusual collection of information pertinent to the home building industry," Baer said. "Our policy is to make the library practical rather than historical or theoretical. This means we will have a complete working collection of all material that is of immediate practical value to the home builder and the home buyer."

Compactly arranged in Ll62 square feet of spacerin the Center, the library collection includes the technicalities of home building and economic, legislative, educational and public service aspects. The material covering this wide field will consist of books, journals, government documents and trade publica- .;,;,! tions which will be kept up to date.

The library will digest current home building literature, pro- vide a question-answer service and translate foreign language literature. A special decimal classification of books and trade journals has been developed to fit the exact needs of the library ' and make access to the library material easy for the reference librarianandthelibraryuseringeneralatthenewNational Housing Center, 1625 L Street, N.W., Washington 6, D.
