The library at Axtell High School has been truly blessed this year by our Guardian Angels located in New York. Thanks to Annette Kaster, Jean Brett-Leach, and the members of the RVC Beautification Committee, the Axtell High School will be receiving several shipments of new and gently used books over the next couple of months.
Why would people in New York help our small library? Annette, a cousin of our librarian, was visiting with Jean about the budget cuts we were facing in our school and talking about the fundraising we have done this year to raise money for library books. Jean decided to have a book drive for our school library and gave members of the RVC Beautification Committee the information. Now, because of these wonderful people, the only dilemma students may face when coming to the library is deciding which book to read first.
On April 1st we received our first shipment of books and students could hardly wait to start checking them out. This act of kindness is so greatly appreciated and we are so thankful for our New York Friends.
Following is a list of books that were sent to us in the first shipment of books from Chris Allers. Everyone at Axtell High School would like to thank Chris Allers for this kind gift.
