This is a spot where everyone feels at home because of the common bond among informa- tion seekers. It matters little whether the student who comes in be freshman or senior, whether her interests lead her to seek details in the life of Tschaikowsky or the honey bee. whether she delve into mathematical formulae or lose herself in an enchanting piece of literature. each is absorbmi in a definite work when she comes here where all branches of school work converge. Vhen the harder tasks are over the library is a pleasant place to spend spare time with a favorite magazine. or to go in quest of an interesting novel. ;: i r l .! jcfiuitied at Mercy gaining 39340 .
