As part of the school’s ongoing efforts to promote literacy in the community, Gaynor has added a Little Free Library outside of our 89th Street entrance. This nonprofit, free book exchange program encourages anyone in the community to use the library by donating or taking a book.
Gaynor’s Yellow Cluster Community Service Club planned a special dedication ceremony for school administrators and City Council Member Gale Brewer. Now that the library is installed in its permanent home, the club members will help promote and maintain it. If you are in our neighborhood, please stop by and pick up or drop off a book!
A very special thanks to Art Specialist Lucy Villeneuve for beautifully decorating the library, Facilities Director Galo Macias and the Facilities team for installing it, Yellow Cluster Head Teacher Jamie Zaslav and Director of Lower Division Donna Logue for their leadership of the community service club, and to Gaynor Trustee Jillian Marcus for the idea to bring this community library to our school.
Below are some photos from the ribbon cutting ceremony on April 16!
