Knoxville High School library has a prime location, warmly welcoming students as soon as they enter through the main doors of the building.
Students can pop in and browse the color-coded genre collections, join a book club, or just find a place to decompress. Whatever the case, school librarian Ellen Shrader will make sure that the stories you want will reach your hands. Before the library joined Find More Illinois, she manually emailed or called in requests to other libraries. Today, the library’s collection and accessibility to diverse titles grow as more libraries join the platform.
With a library aide now by her side and another librarian added to the district’s elementary school, the students at Knoxville Community Unit School District #202 have the privilege of accessing a growing, thriving library culture.
