Caption typed on the page 7 of the Women's Institute Scrapbook: "The library in the new grammar school. In the summer of 1968 Colborne Public School was for a second time in the process of addition with four classrooms, a library, washrooms, a teacher's room and storage facilities being built. In 1967 with the school being over crowded, grades six and seven attended classes in the Town Hall. This year the new addition will enable the school to accomodate [sic] all classes.
