Into this room were crowded twenty tables, about five thousand volumes, and the librarian's office. Within the Mst six years two more rooms have been added and now the school looks forward to the completion of the new Training Schol, so that the whole second floor of Joyner Building car taken for library use. One room will be used for the librarian's office and cataloging department: another, is to be furnished as a Leisure Reading room: the room now used by the Business Education department will be used for the Publisher's Collection, and the present office will be converted into another stack room in which will be shelved the hundreds of new books recently added by purchase and gift to meet the American Association of Teachers Col- eges' requirements for 15,000 volumes in our library.
