Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated August 26, 1963 reads "School libraries are fascinating places for children. And during the summer months a library can have a number of uses. Valley Times TODAY Photographer George Brich happened into the library at Reseda Elementary School this week to see how youngsters take advantage of their library. Above left, Ann McKenna and Skipper White, both 5, find that a library is a place for learning, as Mrs. Langston White, president of Reseda Elementary PTA, teaches her son to read. Next, Jeff Henderson, 12 finds that a library is a place for research -- if he can find where to search. And, at right, Susan Stewart, 10, thinks it's a good place to meet friends. Below, Peter Villegas (pictured), 5, right, finds the library is a place where he must make decisions, even if it's just what book to read. Skipper and Mrs. Henderson help him."; See images #00031314 through 00031315 and #00142607 through #00142608 for all photos in this series.
