Resuscitate Our Library

Funded Feb 23, 2024

In 2021, Rhonda Pribula and I set about changing the Senior High School Library from a room that stores books back into a Library. To accomplish this we formed the Library Revitalization League. Hundreds of hours of our own time has be spent reorganizing every single book, moving shelves to create a beautiful space for students, and many other projects to make the space function well for our students. The biggest part of our efforts has been acquiring books that interest to our students. Sadly, books have not been ordered regularly since we had a licensed librarian in the high school. The EGF Senior High School Library has not had a licensed librarian in more than 20 years.

Our students deserve new books and books that interest them. Books that will start them on the path of being life-long readers. I have been buying new, to us, books using the website thriftbooks.com with my own money. I decided to write this Donors Choose grant once I learned that there were not going to be any new books purchased this year because the school district purchased new furniture for the library.

Thank you to everyone who helped support buying Graphic Novels. Our EGF High School desperately needs new books of all genres and you may see another Donors Choose grant in the future and I hope you will be able to help out again.”

With gratitude,
