My Project

Unfortunately coming out of the pandemic my school needed the space that houses to library for a classroom so the library was no longer. Books were sent to be stored but accidentally thrown away.

The library has been back for a year and a half now providing the resources we can but we are working with minimal supplies.

We were also placed in a much smaller space.

We were able to replace some books but we are still missing the complete book sets that a lot of the kids request and love to read. We want to keep the kids reading the books they love. Next school year we will be in a larger space and we just don't have enough resources to fill the space yet.
