It must also promote the cultural interests of students and those habits of self-education which are a part of the University education. The Library houses approximately 120.000 volumes and 23.000 bound periodicals. Miss Juliet B. Clark has assumed the duties of Head Librarian this year, replacing Fr. William Monahan, who is now serving as Director of University Libraries.
