Friday, June 2nd finished not only the 2022-2023 school year, but an unexpected year of transitions, adjustments, and eventual downsizing for the high school library. Rededicated in memorial for former Social Studies teacher Jeffery Boggess in 2015, the Collaboration Center was scheduled to downsize and make room for four new classrooms. Due to increasing construction costs, after administration ordered the book collection to be packed and shelving disassembled, the construction was delayed at the end of the 2021-2022 school year.
Throughout the year, students found books in different packaging, on pallets, and in various shelving setups as library Emily Hickman adjusted to a variety of potential scenarios leading to the approved elimination of this space.
Students should expect to return in August and see a hallway in place of the librarian desk, multiple walls and four classrooms in place of the tables, seating, and shelving, and a long, but narrow area as the new library.
