1901 Y 1941 Q4 COLUMBIA PREP LIBRARY its THE LIBRARY DURING the past year the library of Columbia continued to grow in literary content and to undergo several material improvements. Under the supervision of lllr. Jack Friedhoff, librarian, all books were carefully cataloged and checked. Many new volumes, mostly fiction, were added to the collection of the library. The most important contribution was the addition of a complete set of the Encyclopedia Americana, a donation of the lylothers' Club. Most important improvement was the addition of a rail which gave the librarian some privacy in the performance of his duties. lligllligllt of the literary year was the Catholic Press lVlonth display during February. The purpose of this exhibit was to stimulate in the students a desire to read more Catholic per- iodicals. Another display of interest was the work of the journalists who featured school papers which are received in exchange from other preparatory schools. The library presents both the atmosphere and the materials which are necessary for the reference work required of the students. lt is the hope of the faculty that the students will continue to take advantage of the opporl tunities offered by a library which is well-equipped and ever growing.
