My Green School Library
I am in the process of "greening" my school library. I am librarian at Meridian Academy alternative school. I got 3 grants and have used the money to build a circulation desk out of recycled materials, we recycled book shelves, and I have book stands out of used skateboards and the furniture is out of snowboards! I even have a trash can and clock made out of skateboards.
The magazine rack is on the wall and I used recycled metal to constuct a fun
way to display magazines. Women of Steel helped me with this.
It is going to be a very cool space!

Can you post pictures? I'd love to see what you've done. I checked on the school site and didn't find any. I can't stop by because I live in Northern Idaho. Thanks.
