RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS: SCHOOL 29 LIBRARY NUTES -'imp X FQEW' C Al Il A. Ai' nv i diff 1,1 f .gizziifizs 5 Mx! X uinggas :. g ,tlfgxj ! ggggggiggr :: -,,.i 'QED' L, .4 .... --,. l ' The school library, under the direction of Miss Kennedy, and ten librarians, has been very successful in its 1939-40 functions. It has a double purpose: that of providing both adequate recreational and reference reading. This year both sections have been .used more than previously. The library is a study room for Grade XII. students and those using reference books, and is under the supervision of two librarians each day, who issue books, advise would-be readers. keep the shelves clean and orderly, and check overdue novels. Librarians' pins forming a tiny silver L have been worn for the first time this year, and we held a librarians, party on February 14th, dining first at the school, and seeing the exciting Night Must Fall presented by the John Holden Players later in the evening. Gver two hundred novels have been issued this year, of which several new books, such as Oppenheinfs Floating Peril and Wfode- house's humorous Jeeves books have been most popular: others which received special patronage were Alcott's An Qld Fashioned Girl, Sabatini's Scaramouche, and Buchan's and Rider Haggard's adventures and mysteries. The favorite reference books were Ency- clopaedia Britannica, Books of Knowledge, our collection of Canadian National Geographics to which we have added extensively, and the Oxford dictionary. We feel that there is still room for our novel section to grow, especially in the addition of modern authors. Although both sections could be used more appreciatively, a wider taste for reading is cer- tainly being cultivated, particularly in the middle school. We would like to thank everyone who has helped the library: those who have given us books, and those who have co-operated with the librarians in using its contents during the past year. For next year, let your motto be Read more books ! THE GLEE CLUB The first meeting of the Glee Club was held on September 27, 1939.
