Books Inspire Us to Greater Heights Where can I find a quiet place to study? is a question that is never heard in Spingarn, for our library is the place to go for peace and quiet as well as professional guidance from the librarians and arapidly growing collection of books on all subjects for all levels of learning. The library is staffed with two full-time librarians and numerous student assistants. It houses 8,600 books, 65 magazines, and 4 newspapers, including the New York Tzmer. It serves a well-equipped and thoroughly trained staff in the care and use of visual aids. In our study area we take great pride and find much joy, for in its capacity and in its services rendered, it ranks as one of the finest high school libraries in the city. 36
