lech univer sity librarian when approached by a reporter seeking the reason for the padlocking of the browsing room in the new library the purpose of the room as serted mr leach is to give the students a chance to read good lit erature in pleasing and comfortable surroundings at the present time there are no books on the shelves so there is no real reason for hav ing the room open the room
