Re-Opening Of The Library!

Help me give my students an exciting and fresh feeling library for the new school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ruby's classroom raised $170

This project is fully funded

My Project

Hello! My name is Ruby, I am the new librarian here at Central Middle School. The kids were not able to use the library at all most of last year. So to generate excitement to be back in here and to move the library forward with the students I would like to update the look of the library.

My goal is to make this a relaxed, inviting room to encourage a safe space to come read and get lost between pages.

With budget cuts libraries have been hit hard. So your donations to these kids help them to experience the joy of able to traveling to a whole new world and live a thousand lives in the stories they will find in here.

Thank you in advance for your support, being able to show my reader that not only their school has their backs but also the community will add to tremendously to their educational experience.
