Reserve Book Plan Postponed for Study

Action on a proposal to allow reserve books to circulate for three hours outside Lamont has been postponed, according to Thomas F. O'Connell, Chief of Circulation and Stacks in the Harvard College Library.

A committee in charge of the University libraries decided yesterday to give the measure further study in order to determine its general feasibility and find but what increase in costs would result from such a change. The committee should be ready to reconsider the proposal in a month.

The proposal was first introduced last year by the Council, at which time it received extensive student support.

The library committee also initiated a study of ventilation in Lamont in response to complaints about the air conditioning on the second and fourth floors.
