Each year new reading and reference material is added. The greatest supply of this material comes from the Jackson County Library. Of course, the library wouldn't be complete without Mrs. Turner and her assistants. They help students find the material they need for entertainment and work. The library has become a very important place for'students who wish to study or those who enjoy reading a good book. As the library is mainly for the students, it is inhabited by them throughout the day. Students find the library helpful for studying and also for relaxation
