The cost of a subscription would wipe out my tiny library budget. I could scrabble together some grant $ and/or do some crowd-funding to cover part of the cost, but I really feel the district (which doesn't buy textbooks anymore in our building) should cover the cost.<div> However, <i>I'm concerned that the principal and superintendent may balk about supporting the cost due to pandemic-produced and other shortfalls. </i></div><div><b>My question: Does anyone have suggestions on how to strengthen my case?</b></div><div><u>Thanks in advance</u>...</div><div>:) Kathy</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><i style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><b>Kathy Sullivan</b></i><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div><b style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:12.8px"><i>Princeville Junior Senior High School</i></b></div><div><b style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:12.8px"><i>P.C.U.S.D. #326</i></b><br></div><div><font face="garamond, serif"><b><i>302 Cordis Avenue, </i></b></font><b style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:12.8px"><i>Princeville, IL 61559</i></b></div><div><font face="garamond, serif"><b><i>309.385-4660 x1574</i></b></font></div><div><font face="garamond, serif"><i><a href="mailto:ksullivan@princeville326.org" target="_blank">ksullivan@princeville326.org</a> </i></font></div><div><font face="garamond, serif"><b><i><br></i></b></font></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9.5pt"><b><i><font color="#660000">"Literature is the safest key to a nation's treasure."</font></i> </b>- Chaim Nachman Bialik</span></div><p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
