Thanks to our wonderful funders, we are buying NEW BOOKS that the children request.
When a 5th grader asks and the books are out four weeks running, Jean Hurd orders copies from Amazon. She no sooner barcodes than the books are snapped up by waiting students. Nearly all of the classrooms have learned to navigate the library, use the computer catalog, and find interesting books. The library is a happy place.
