This is great story about giving back to the community! With students coming out of the pandemic and back school in person, local school libraries could use some new books. Altona Lagoon Book Club in St. Croix tried to “pay their love of books forward” to a local elementary school. Members selected Juanita Gardine K-8 school as the recipient of their donation. The school librarian came up with a list of books the students would like to read. With the help of the book club along with former Juanita Gardine student Keith O’Neale of O’Neale’s Transport, Inc., all the books on the list were purchased at Undercover Books & Gifts in Gallows Bay and given to the school.
