From the Media Center:
WE NEED YOU! We are seeking volunteers to help our students in the library; this is a great way to be involved with the school and to meet other parents and staff. We are looking for volunteers to help with circulation and shelving once a week or once every two weeks for two or three hour shifts. I would love to have two volunteers every morning and afternoon to help our library run smoothly and efficiently. Please email me at beth_martinez@gwinnett.k12.ga.us or call me at (678) 765-4939 if you are able to volunteer. Thanks! Beth Martinez
