Library Changes
LIBRARY CHANGES
Things are changing in the library! In order to help Mrs. Crow to assist you with your research, we have made the following changes:
From now on, it's all about studying, reading, and quiet activities like working on assignments and using computers. No more hanging out – let's keep noise levels down and avoid distractions like playing games or watching videos without headphones.
Remember, those not engaged in these activities will be asked to leave. Let's work together to make the library a place for focused learning and concentration!
