My Project

I am the Media Specialist for my K-12 school library! I teach technology and library classes all week long. We have so many students and faculty in and out of the library each day! With so many people coming and going, it can get a little dirty and germy in the library space.

These items will help keep the library clean, help keep the germs down, and have a healthy and safe space for all!

These items are basic cleaning supplies to keep tables and shared spaces clean, hand sanitizer for people coming and going, Lysol Air to kill germs and freshen the air, a easy to use vacuum with replacement filters as the library has carpet and several rugs, tissues for runny noses, cleaner for electronics, band-aids for hurt fingers, and so many needed items in the library. In this library space we don't get as many supplies as other spaces in the school, but we go through just as many supplies as general education classrooms. This project will restock our very low supplies to use in the wonderful shared space of the library for the students and faculty that visit on a daily basis!
