Here, some of the girls browse among the 5000 books in the library of the institution. The library is located in the school building. Most of the books have come from donations. The girls check them out for a week and may renew them if there isn't a waiting list for that particular book. Girls work in the library, with supervision, of course. Photo dated: July 14, 1954.
