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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we were there, many students poked their head and asked when they could check out books!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"792\" height=\"608\" src=\"http:\/\/www.utahsla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2019-service.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.utahsla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2019-service.png 792w, https:\/\/www.utahsla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2019-service-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/www.utahsla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2019-service-768x590.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s Build a Library!
