Library: quiet exists amidst chaos By providing an ample collec- tion of nearly 18,000 books for reference and research, for in- formation, and for reading that is just plain fun, the library serves the students and faculty of Lincoln High. About 1500 books are added each year to keep pace with the changing world and with changing cur- riculum. One hundred and twenty magazines arrive in the library each month, and over 10,000 are kept on file for reference. Library users have a chance to use individual study carrels, watch a film on auto mechanics, link up a French verb, find a recipe from Iran, or see student art displays.
