ATWATER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO LOSE ITS LIBRARY

Due to school budget cuts the school library at Atwater Elementary is slated to close on September 23rd unless $15,000 is raised to fund a librarian position. The school’s booster club, Friends of Atwater Elementary (FOA), has started an online fundraising campaign called “Save the Atwater Elementary School Library”.

They hope to raise $15,000, which will allow Atwater Elementary to keep the existing librarian for the school year. FOA is also seeking to raise an additional $30,000 for the Wonder of Reading Program; a matching funds grant that would help fund repairs and renovate the entire library. However, their immediate goal is to keep the library open.
