Junior Optimists Buy Books

The Northside Junior Optimists recently presented Northside librarian Helen Welte (center-left) with a check for $601 to purchase new books. Members include Jeina Reum (left), Owen Moran (center to right) and Lonnie Steele (right). The Optimists raise money through sales at their school snack store. In January, they purchased 51 books at a cost of $837.59. Some of that money was from the previous school year. Welte keeps a list of books that students have requested. The Optimists will be donating to the junior high library to buy books requested by incoming seventh graders.
