Ballard High may set library record

Ballard High School is working with the Seattle Public Library to make history: sign up every student in school with a library card. “This is totally uncharted territory for them and for the Seattle Public Library,” said Lynn Miller, librarian at the Ballard Branch. For the past few days, students have been visiting library branches around town to get their cards. And on Friday, library staffers will visit Ballard High and sign up students on the spot.

“Getting these library cards and becoming patrons could help contribute to the students’ success now at school and through their entire lives,” said Miller. The project is a collaboration between Miller and the Ballard High librarian, Debbie Arthur. We’ll let you know if they reach their goal.
