Book Donations
by Melissa Bridges 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

Hi Miriam! I just received your information from our local public library. I am currently in the process of merging the collection of our two middle schools into one. I have numerous excess books that we are looking to donate. Most are middle school, but we do have some YA. I will attach some pictures of what I have. I was wondering if Windover High School's Library is still in need of books and would be interested in some of these titles. I would love to see them continue to get some use! Please let me know. This is a small sampling of what we have...these carts are double stacked. I do have nonfiction books as well. Most of them are on the updated side, but I can through and pull out the more recent ones! Have a great day! Melissa Bridges 248-865-3670 --
