Show ACADEMY LIBRARY IS GREATLY ENLARGED The Emery Stake academy library is now the repository of the private library of Francis W. Kirkham of Salt Lake City, and the local school is thereby enriched by over two hundred choice volumes. For the past few years Mr. Kirk-ham's Kirk-ham's private lihrary has been part of the Brigham Young University collection col-lection at Provo. Owing to the growth of the latter institution, in thematterof library facilities Mr. Kirkham's gift to Provo had reached the point of decreasing de-creasing returns. Knowing that these books had outlived their usefulness at the B. Y. U., Principal A. L. Beeley of our Academy hit upon the idea of securing se-curing a transfer of the gift to Castle Dale where the books would serve a greater usefulness and fill a long-felt need. The idea was carried out and the books are now on their shelves at the Academy. The gift is a permanent one as long as a church school is maintained by the people of Emery stake.

Mr. Reed Coo, Castle Dale druggist, also has given the Academy a complete com-plete set of the works of Rudyard Kipling, and has consented to loan to the .Ai-arlemy a 25-volume set of Rid- pain's History of the World. Mr. Heeley has also shipped in over : 300 volumes from his own private col- lection books which will lie of special j value as sources of reference to the students in his classes. Mr. Victor Anderson of the science department and Mr. H. Y. Baird of the agricultural department have also placed their own libraries at the disposal dis-posal of their students. In this way, the library facilities of the Academy have been greatly increased in-creased until more than 2000 modern volumes on all subjects are available, free of charge, to every student in the Academy. This undoubtedly makes the number of volumes per student much larger than in the average secondary sec-ondary school in the state. Such a library constitutes a valuable i asset to a rural school and community, and it is hoped that its influence will be fiit by all, not alone by the students stud-ents but by the citizens of Castle Dab-, at least. Library privileges, we understand, un-derstand, will be extended to all non-students non-students who are interested. |
