A Lot Has Changed in Fifty Years ...
The original library, 1959-1960
The library today, 2009-2010
... but the library has always been a hub of learning.

Library Gets New Books
Perhaps you have noticed there are quite a few empty shelves in the library. No need to worry about it; the shelves will be filled before the end of the year. At this time there are approximately 1100 books, with a small number coming in from time to time.
The longest you may have a book out it [sic] two weeks. However, our librarian, Mrs. Polk, would appreciate if it you would return books before the deadline to avoid fines.
Mrs. Polk's assistants are Mrs. MacRill, circulation; Mrs. Trelford, cataloguing; Mrs. Petsuch, textbooks.
The library is open from 7:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. each school day. There is a card catalog with cross reference, but there is no reader's guide as yet. One is expected soon.
