My Project

The projects intends to fill the shelves of our library. This post-COVID library is missing many resources and needs a refresh to encourage the checkout of books to more students. This intention is reflected on this project’s wish list of books to procure. With your support and consideration, the goal to re-stock the library shelves will become possible. Students consistently request many of these popular titles and will be clamoring to check out once on the shelves, including series books and graphic novels are included on the project’s wish list. Your consideration is appreciated.
