"T h e plan has been successful," she said and the following com- ments mad e by military per- sonnel, dependents and civili- an employees will bear t his out. "I am acquainted with the plan. Other libraries where I have been have had it. It of· fers a wid e r selection than most libraries can afford to stock." "Hey, I hit a gold mine! I recently saw the author on tel· evision and he recommended the book for good reading." And a not her person was heard to comment, "Ordinar- ily I choose my reading from the new book shelves, but now I have learned to watch this section for new and interesting material." Why so many favorable ob· servations about library books, you might be saying to your· self. The excited and pleased patrons of the NWC Library have been introduced to the McNaughton Plan. Some of the more prominent titles of books appearing in this plan include in the fiction area, "Shark Island" by Edelman; "Postscript to a Nightmare" by Hitchens, and "The Sea and The Stars" by Wilder. 10 the non-fiction line there are such books as "Hell's Angels - A Strange and Terrible Saga" by Tho m p son and "A Mortal Flower" by Han Suyin. These are a few of the 100 recently published books placed in circulation by the C e n t e r librarians. So recent are the books, that the library receives copies earlier than they appear on the magazine stands or in book stores. What is the McNaughton Plan? According to Mrs Ward. the McNaughton Plan actually began here on July 19, 1967, and it is a loan service con- Sisting of a permanent IOven· tory of 100 ' volumes plu. a small shipment of new titles each month. New books arrive and are ready for circulation on or before actual publication date. Furthermore, those boo k s which prove to be of lasting interest to the Center's read- ers will eventually be purch- ased and added to the Library collection. Inactive titles or un- popular books will gradually be wee d e d out and withdrawn from the lib r a r y files and stacks. Most patrons have expressed their appreciation for the wid- er selection of new books and commented upon the fact that they are received so soon aft- er the publishing date. McNaughton books call be found shelved on the nor t h wall of the Library. They arc circulated for the usual two- week period and may be reo served in the same manner . as the Library's regular collec- tion. A list of McNaughton ti· ties currently available is post- ed in the Library.
