If not why not look in some time today. The library has changed a little since last year. Almost once a week the library has new pictures put on the bulletin boards and the glass cabinet by the doors are changed. Something new in the library is the music that Mrs. Squires decided to have in the library every day, all day. It keeps the noise down, the atmosphere is just right, and it’s so much easier to study. Many people use the library during the day. This isn’t just the teachers, but students also are enjoying the comforts of - the library. Why not join a few of your friends. Walk into the ‘library, sit down at any table and just say “Hi” to the person in the seat across from you. You’ve made a friend and so has he. There are also many new and fascinating books in the library and more are coming in all the time. You are allowed to keep the books out for three weeks, which gives a person plenty of time in which to finish a book.
