They have been in operation for over six years without a library! They are also a \u201cTurnaround School\u201d, which means they are currently one of the most underperforming schools in Utah.<br>   With a new director, Julie Atwood, they are turning that around. Director Atwood has created a school improvement plan and part of that was building a library in the school. Kathy Thiriot was chosen to be the librarian and rose to the occasion! She has been purchasing books with a very tight budget, seeking donations, and working to make the library the heart of the school.<br>   This library is in need of high quality books in all areas. In order to help the library save funds, the team at Southwest Educational Development Center have set up a KOHA library to check out books. The team    recently spent a day at the school entering all the current books, many of which are gently used but very much appreciated.<br>   While we were there, many students poked their head in and asked when they could check out books!<br>   There will be opportunities to donate books at the conference, feel free to bring a book! Especially if you have a Non Fiction book to donate, it would be most appreciated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"541\" height=\"405\" src=\"http:\/\/www.utahsla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/b.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.utahsla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/b.png 541w, https:\/\/www.utahsla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/b-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dixie Montessori Academy is a K-7 Charter School in Southwest Utah.
