Benjamin Hooks Central Library/Ridgeway High School Library Collaboration
We are proud to announce a new collaborative project between the Benjamin Hooks Central Library and Ridgeway High School Library! Any student at Ridgeway High School may now register for a student public library card, place a hold on a book and have it sent to the Benjamin Hooks Central Library; they will bring the book to the school. The book can be returned to the school library where representatives from the Benjamin Hooks Central Library will pick the book up for return. This will resolve student transportation issues and open up many opportunities for student use of the public library system. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity! The link to the student public library card application is at the top left of this website.
