well as the Abbreviations, Foreign Words and Phrases, Biographical Names, and
Geographical Names sections of that book. It also includes 1,000 illustrations

Signs and Symbols section, are omitted from the online Collegiate Dictionary
because they include special characters and symbols that cannot readily be

Public Library - Yorkville
Yorkville is experiencing a period of
rapid growth and it's estimated that in 20 years Yorkville's population could be
40,000. Thanks to Yorkville residents, who recently approved a bond sale that
will allow for a 34,000 square foot addition to the existing 6,000 square foot
library, the Yorkville Public Library will now be able to provide a modern
facility for the community in anticipation of the population growth. The
existing library will be able to remain open during nearly the entire
construction period and, when the addition is complete, it will open as the new
library while the existing building is renovated for use as meeting rooms that
will serve public functions as well as library programs. Visit
