The Library Needs You!

Team Work Bitmoji


The library media center is a very busy place. We always have things going on that need extra hands or donations. We do several events each year that could benefit from some extra hands if you have extra time to donate to the library. Help is always appreciated. We have a number of easy tasks that just take time. Volunteers can take on some of those daily tasks that need doing to allow me more time to work with students and teachers at W.T. Griggs. See the lists below to see how you can help! If you cannot donate time, we have other options to allow Mallard families to help with the library.
