The Teachers College library was begun in Septem- ber. 1922. About five hundred volumes were trans- ferred from Junior College where the Teacher Train- ing School has been housed. Many of these volumes had been the property of the Elizabeth Moss Kinder- garten Training School. The equipment at that time consisted of a desk, a magazine case and a card cata- logue case. A small portion of the present shelving Srn1.1..A Puaizsox was installed about five weeks after school opened. 1-1l'ff11'1UH The tables and chairs were provided during that fall. During that winter Miss Pierson did-not give all of her time to the library as she was on the regular teaching staft. ' Since that time the, library has increased in book stock and equipment until it has almost outgrown its present quarters. There are now approximately 10,000 volumes, including bound magazines and reference books and a subscription list of sixty-four periodicals in the library. The library endeavors to provide for the College students all literature needed in academic reference work and supplementary material for practice teaching. lVith the rapid expansion of the work of the College, however. during the past two or three years, the library is becoming badly crowded and additional room is needed. . l mir'
