THIS YEAR 62 percent of the books processed through the center were purchased by the library. Most years a larger share of the books are processed for the school district. Even if the bulk in cataloging for the library continues to increase, it still would not warrant maintaining all the personnel, Mr. Whitesides said. All processing personnel, who have been paid in the past by the school board, must now be transferred to the county payroll.
