THE FOUNTAIN-NEW LIBRARY

The Fountain-New Library was dedicated on May 27, 1988.

The library obtained its name thanks to a very generous

donation given towards the construction project of the

facility by Mrs. Janie New, in honor of her parents

(Charles and Mary Fountain - pictured left) and in-laws

(Luther and Georgia New - pictured right). 

The Circulation/Reference Desk is where you will obtain

helpful information to begin your research process.

The library computers allow you to perform research

on your topics.  Some of the services available on the

computers include our online catalog system to find books

in our collection, electronic databases to find articles and

Microsoft Office products to type papers or construct

presentations.

Books are arranged on the shelves in order according

to the Library of Congress Classification System.

The Reference section contains multi-volume sets,

dictionaries, encyclopedias, indexes and various subject

specific resources that will guide you in your research

project.

The periodicals are shelved in alphabetical order by title.

Back issues are held in bound copy, microfilm and

microfiche formats.  The library owns a special reading

machine to assist in locating and printing articles on

microfilm/microfiche.

The Music Listening Room has several stations with

machines that can play CDs, Records and Cassettes.  In

addition, movies can be viewed using the VCR and DVD

players.

The Morgan Gallery (conference) Room provides an ideal

classroom setting and meeting area for groups and

committees.

The Reading Room area provides a large, quiet setting

to read and study!
