A NEW VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
Love Books? Promote literacy?
You can make a difference. Volunteer at ReNew Charter School libraries.
Batiste Cultural Arts Academy (Live Oak at 3128 Constance Street) and SciTech Academy (Laurel at 820 Jackson) are in need of volunteer library assistants. Each school has a full time librarian on site.
Volunteers are needed to help maintain library integrity, add new book donations and purchases and help with an annual on-site book fair. Any time you would like to help would be appreciated. Set your own schedule.
It is exciting to watch the evolution of new and young readers develop. These libraries are a vital and available resource for our students (about 500-600 per site) and staff.
If you have an interest in working around and with books and want to share
your appreciation and love of reading with these young minds, contact Anna Leightman at aleightman@renewschools.org or 504-281-0535.
