The Sterling Grade School Library underwent a renovation project during the summer of 2006. Improvements include: new carpeting; newly painted walls and radiators; a BEAUTIFUL new circulation desk and staff work area; an improved floor plan to improve traffic flow and make the library more user-friendly; lowered ceiling and new lights; table and chair seating area doubled in size to accommodate a full class of students complete with multimedia projector and screen; new wiring for electrical, telephone, Internet and computer network connections; and an enlarged storytime area.

THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who helped with and supported our library renovation project. It is benefiting every student and staff member in our entire school, and is also available to other groups (such as Bear Cub Backers and Site Council) to use as a meeting place.

We'd like to recognize the people who supported us as well as staff members and volunteers who worked on the project. It was quite an undertaking, and we couldn't have done it without some great teamwork!
