Library:

It sure doesn’t look like the kind of library that we have in our schools today, does it? It was just a small bookcase but it held all the books that were necessary. The books featured in this library include teacher’s manuals on subjects such as grammar, arithmetic, household science, household management and history as well as the textbooks that the children would have used to learn these subjects. They do not sound exactly like the subjects that we take today but these were the subjects that would have been important for children growing up in the thirties. The library also holds many classic novels such as; Jane Eyre and David Copperfield. It also holds religious books and text books which would have been shared by the children (unlike today when we all have our very own textbooks). The library would have been a very important part of French Hill School!
