Kitty Hoffman

Hoffman teamed up with fellow educators Evelyn Compton, Kylynn Boissiere, Melanie McCain and Lois Jones to create the "Lending Library," which makes high interest books available to students. These books are stocked on bookshelves in the school hallways and are available to students without a checkout system. This program recognizes the importance of improving reading achievement among the student population and encourages students to read outside of school. The Lending Library helps improve students' attitudes about reading and positively affects the community by teaching the children greater self-sufficiency as they enter the adult world.
