The current facility, mostly located on the third floor of the King's administration bulding, was not meant to house a library. The building is not structurally equipped to handle the weight of King's extensive collection of books. For many years, it has been necessary to store a great number of these materials in other loca­ tions on the campus, making them largely inaccessible to stu­ dents wishing to browse. Much of the King's collection is made up of rare and valuable books, given to the college at var­ ious points during its two­ hundred year history. In order to prevent these precious books from deteriorating, special climate-controlled facilities are required. The project is being funded by the provincial and federal governments, and also by fun­ draising within the university itself. Students at King's College voted earlier this year to donate a portion of their student union fees to the library fund. "The vote was overwhelmingly in favour of student contribution to the library," says King's Stu­ dent Union President Lew Turn­ quist. Ninety-one percent of the students who voted supported the Engineers fear that the weight of a new library will cause King's to be sucked Into the bowels of the earth. new library construction.
