LIBRARY EXPANDED CMS stud ents will genera ll y agree that the most popular location at Cardigan is the library. Because of this popularity a nd because of the need for more working and learn ing space, the library located on t he second fl oor of Hopkins has undergone extensive renovatio n and remode ling. The Iibrary was extended across t he ha ll through room 227; a large custod ial storage area was tra nsformed into a n audio-visua l room, a nd a door has been constructed between t he Teachers' Room and the new section of the library (room 22 7) . The construction necessitated the removal of two walls arid the addition of new walls and partitions. The overa ll results have been a great improvement of the CMS library facilities.
