This will be the last session in the Old Library. I he University 1 ibrarv and Library School will move into the New Library in August During the fust years in this building the School will be in temporary quarters on the ground floor. I t is probable that these quarters will be used Wily for one year and they are ample and convenient. It is expected that the second unit of the new building will be completed in a year and the permanent quarters are to be in this unit. The completion of the New Library Building will undoubtedly mean rapid development for both the Library and the Library School. The first two units are under construction at a cost of jt 1,250,000 and it is hoped that the next legislature will appropriate £500,000 more for the third unit.
