Sarah McQuaide helps give surplus JAIS books a new life Over 700 children's books will be redistributed through International Books Project, a Lexington, KY based charity Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Shamarie Claiborne News from the Adair County School District There are great children throughout our district but a extra special one has emerged and her name is Ms. Sarah McQuaide. With all the wonderful changes in the Adair County School System that have been happening, one young lady has silently made a difference of her own. When it came to Sarah's attention that many of the books in the John Adair Intermediate Library where going to be sold as surplus or disposed of she went to work trying to find them a new home. Sarah explains best - "John Adair had many books in its library. Mrs. Mann, the librarian at JAIS, was only going to keep so many of those books. The rest, sadly, would be put into surplus or simply thrown away. I thought it would be great if these books went to children who could use them more than we could. That's when I found the International Book Project. This organization collects books to distribute to children around the world. We called the charity and they said the donation would be greatly appreciated, and children's books were the books that they needed most.The fact that Sarah saw great things happening for herself and other students within her school system and wanted to do something for other children not as blessed shows what a great citizen and community leader this young lady will be. Sarah not only makes her parents Mary Ann and Glen McQuaide proud, but her actions have made the entire Adair County School System proud. Continue the good works Sarah! - Sarah McQuaide This story was posted on 2013-07-23 15:29:09
