Library Transformation
In another area of the library, a section of shelves was removed to open the space up and make room for four additional computers. This also gives the students more space to look at the fiction section.
We also are in the process of replacing our library furniture. Over the summer, we received 3 new tables and 12 new beautiful blue chairs. We will be buying additional furniture throughout the year as we raise money for it from our Book Fairs.
The library transformation is ongoing process. Stayed tuned for updates throughout the years.
