Principal Brown has asked Friends of Waring to make it our #1 priority to restore and open Waring’s library in 2020.
Background: Laura Waring Elementary does not have a librarian or a functioning library. The library is currently used for storage and meetings. It needs to be cleared out, reorganized, inventoried, and redesigned to be a functioning lending library.
Goal: By the end of 2020, our goal is to have a volunteer-run lending library at Laura Waring Elementary, where students can come to discover, read, and check-out books.
We need your help: We need volunteers to help prepare the library for opening, which includes labeling and organizing books, painting, and scanning books into our inventory system. Once the library opens, we will need volunteers to help run it by helping students find books, check books in and out, reshelve returned books, etc.
