My Project

Hello friends! Most of the books that have been selected are award winners. After a long overdue weeding of outdated books, we are now attempting to fill in the shelves with selections that will be appealing and relatable to our teens of today. This is a monumental task that we cannot accomplish without the help of donors who believe that libraries and books are extremely important. We have a long way to go to reach our goal of having a 21st-century library that also serves as the heart of the school. We appreciate your support!
