A recent project to restock the shelves of the library at Weir High School shows that school spirit, and community spirit, transcends generations and geography. As many are now aware, shortly before the beginning of the current school year, a water line break at the high school flooded the school’s library, damaging many of the books and other items. While carpeting, desks and chairs can easily be replaced simply by placing an order, the thousands of books made available for student and faculty use can take a lot more work. We are sure it took years of purchasing and collecting to gather all the books previously in the school’s collection, and without the help of members of this community and others, it would have taken years to get the library back on track. While students and others in the local area began searching through their own literary collections to see if there was anything they could donate, the word began to spread about the high school’s plight.
