The Bermuda College's new library received a boost last Friday from the youth wing of the Bermuda Public Services Association -- to the tune of $500.

The facility, which is now considered the Island's "academic library'' has set up a book donation programme which will enable individuals and organisations help to fill their two miles of shelves.

Benefactors can either make financial contributions towards the purchase of books, or donate books included on the purchase list at the library.
