The Reference Library, first set up in 1953, and the Reading Library, formed in 1960, have together accumulated over 9,000 books and still receive them at a rate of 1,000 per year.

French and Spanish are both languages of romance while Latin is not a spoken language but a written one. Each year more students take a language course. German and Russian will be added to the language curriculum next year, since a foreign language background is a requirement for entering some colleges. Before a student can receive his credits for a language he must pass two years of that language.
