The Fanny Jackson School Library is a welcoming space with over 10,000 books for our 550 students. While many schools automatically fund their libraries, our students consider themselves lucky to be able to visit our volunteer-run library. Their appreciation is palpable when they cheer or applaud after discussing a new read aloud or reference book. The students find peace and To keep things running smoothly, I need to be able to pay for the software license to run our digital catalog. The behind-the-scenes support of funding a database to run a library may not seem glamorous, but it makes it seamless for us to circulate books when classes visit. It also makes it possible for students to search for their own titles independently and to learn to use a database. In addition to the database, your contribution would buy some new books and a game so that students have the excitement of borrowing new releases throughout the year.
