This year, books on government and social economy ranked high on the list of books in de mand, as did working science books.

The school tibrary has almost every type of book, ranging from party ideas books to fairy tale collections. The library accommodates students before school, during school, and at noon, providing a wonderful piace of peace and quiet to do a last bit of study- ing before a test. It has been shown by the attendance, two to three hundred students a day, that the library is put to good use.
