UELMA 2018 Service Project Recap<\/b><\/p>\n

The service project chosen for the 2018 UELMA Conference focused on the Delta North Elementary School library in Delta, Utah. According to Betsy Lee, school librarian, the library shelves were in a state of disrepair due to weakened particle board shelves. The shelves were overcrowded and collapsing which became a hazard to students and library staff. As a result, library book trucks were used as replacement bookshelves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delna Bliss, principal of Delta North Elementary wrote in their thank you letter, \u201cYour kind gesture will help us fix our shelves that are in bad need of repair. Thank you for thinking of rural schools. It is a great feeling to know you recognize our needs and are willing to help. The superintendent is aware of your generous donation and is also appreciative.\u201d Through the generosity of UELMA members, a total $767.20 was donated to their library.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the generosity and giving spirit of all the UELMA members, $767.20 was raised for the service project at Delta North Elementary! We so appreciate the camaraderie and support that is shown by all members!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
