This morning, Congressman Sanford D. Bishop Jr. (GA-02) was joined by Adam Hathaway, Superintendent of Schley County Schools; Todd West, Principal of Schley County Middle High School; as well as staff and students from the Schley County School District at the Schley County Middle High School Library to welcome a donation of books from the Library of Congress. The donated books will provide students from 6th through 12th grade with challenging reading materials, build a broader library collection at the school, and encourage out-of-classroom learning. The opportunity to receive books from the Library of Congress is open to all libraries in Middle and Southwest Georgia.
"The Library of Congress has provided an excellent opportunity to broaden publication catalogues at schools, public libraries, governments, and non-profits," said Congressman Bishop. "I encourage all interested organizations from Middle and Southwest Georgia to get in touch with our office or the Library of Congress for more information."
"We are very excited Congressman Bishop could be at Schley County Middle High School today to address our student council and want to thank him for officially presenting us with books donated from the Library of Congress," said Adam Hathaway, Superintendent of Schley County School District. "We are honored to be awarded resources that will help our students continue to reach for excellence. We are blessed to be one of the best school systems in the State of Georgia and are very thankful for the support of our community and Congressman Bishop."
