Place of Study?

Buccaneer Vol. XLII 
While doing some research for our Buccaneer (Mepham's newspaper) staff, Mrs. Gellerman came across this interesting article regarding the school library. It even has a rebuttal by Wilma M. Cope, Librarian (great name by the way)! Personally, I would love to get my hands on Alison Goldstein's petition (wonder what was on that)!

The Mepham Library of yesteryear may still be seen in the construction of the space, but it hardly resembles the atmosphere today. When Ms. Cope stated that, "the librarians have tried to be more tolerant of moderate student talking of short duration;" I literally laughed out loud. Our library is anything but quiet. Learning is not always quiet. In fact, sometimes learning is loud. And we like it that way!
