From the Cobb County School District:
Students at Green Acres Elementary School now have more opportunities to explore their love of reading. The Green Acres community and students from Pope High School recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open the elementary school’s new Little Free Library (LFL).
Pope students Julia Acker, Abby Freed, Erin Kappel, Aila McLean, and Ansley Roberts chose to install an LFL at Green Acres as part of their Girl Scout “Silver Project.”
Recognizing the need of her students, Greens Acres Principal Ashley Mize has wanted to install a little library for several years. Thanks to the work of the Cobb Collaborative and the Pope Girl Scouts, her wish is now a reality.
“We are very excited at Green Acres to have our new Little Free Library! Many of our students live within walking distance of the school, so it is perfect for them to access after school and on the weekends. Building a love of reading is essential to our student’s success in school and life,” said Green Acres Principal Ashley Mize. “We can’t wait to see our students and community engage with the library and for our student’s love of reading to grow!”
