A Finished Library!

 The Qholaqhoe Library Project is in its final stages; training students, teachers, and the new librarian on the rules of the library, how the books are organized, and how to check out books.  A project that started over a year ago has come to fruition and brings a resource that teachers and students are excited to put to use!  Thank you to everyone who donated to our PCPP grant project you truly helped a worthwhile project and everyone here appreciates your efforts, QQ would not have a library without you!

The library still has many challenges ahead to get students to use it and maintain the organization of the books and time for library opening.  The English department is taking ownership over the space and I am confident they will keep it going and maintained for many years. I hope that the new library gives the opportunity to students who really want to improve their lives through education the space and resources to learn and push themselves.  I am proud of my counterparts for working through challenges to complete this project including promised donations not coming through, a shortage of building supplies, and a great deal of effort and time over the last year to get this done.
