Plans are underway to modernize Servite's library with an emphasis on research and study opportunities for students.

The plan calls for re-configuring the library to increase open study space, provide small group study rooms and a larger multi-purpose classroom/meeting room.

Some of the featured improvements include:  purchasing contemporary book shelving and more online resources for research and student projects; adding a print/copy station allowing students to print from their ipads and laptops; providing collaboration areas with large tables and electronic charging stations; designating study areas featuring individual work stations; and, extending operating hours before and after school.

The total cost of the project is $60,000.  Alumni are asked to help reach this goal by making a donation by May 1.  Checks should be made payable to: Servite High School, 1952 W. La Palma Ave., Anaheim, CA  92801 (note 'Library Project' on the memo line).

We appreciate your help in providing a wonderful resource for the men of Servite that will have an immediate impact in enhancing educational opportunities.
