LIBRARY NEWS
Library News - Thankful for the Bumpus PTO and the New Library Furniture
Thanks to the Bumpus PTO for their generous funding for the new library tables and chairs. They are beautiful, sturdy and comfortable. The library was in need of new tables and chairs and the PTO saw the need and provided the funding. I would also like to thank Mr. John Havicus, Virco School and Business Furniture Representative, for coming out and assisting me with the ordering process and also teaching me how to put the furniture together. I would also like to thank my husband, Mr. Greg Mims, and grandson, Bray Mims, for building the furniture during the summer months. Without their help, the new tables would not have been ready for students this past August. Please stop by the library and check out the new furniture!
Thanks again, Dana Mims
