Due to the generosity of the class of 1923 it is well furnished. The book collection now consists of over 2,000 volumes, all catalogued, and is steadily growing by means of annual appropriations by the board of directors as well as through donations from kind friends. An increasingly large number of periodicals is regularly received. Gifts to the library will be gratefully received by the school.
