Our library, built more than 30 years ago, does not meet today's needs. The library was built with a capacity for 26,000 books; it now holds more than 60,000 volumes, and new books cannot be added unless other books are withdrawn to make room for them. Nearly 600 people a day visit the library, but there are only 50 seats. There is often a waiting list for the library's computers, but there is no space to add more workstations. More
