2002 library remodeling
Ah, the utopian simplicity of the school library, where boys and girls can gather together to share wholesome and character-building magazines such as this (the back cover says "Be Wise, Work Safely"). Does anybody else think this picture was staged?
The bucolic joy of being a librarian is perfectly immortalized in this fine portrait from 1959. (This one was definitely not staged...we've seen plenty of librarians in exactly this pose of abiding serenity.)
In 1953 the library appears to have doubled as a beauty-salon. These fellows seem a bit ham-fisted when it comes to applying foundation, though...
Yep, this looked like nothing but trouble from the get-go...

The Mummy Returns!
TERROR IN THE LIBRARY! THEY'RE CLIMBING THE WALLS! (Why, you ask? Well, in the upper right corner, our friend the masked monster seems to have lost all control.)
How d'ya do, yesiree, friendliest library in town. Come one, come all. Just pull a book off the shelf and rest it on our heads, we're righter 'an rain here at Uni High. (You guessed it...1953 again. These are some wild kids...)
