We would like to create a community lending library at the school.  If you have any old art, craft, architecture or design books stored in the basement or attic and would like to donate them we would love to take them off of your hand and make them part of our lending library.  With the closure of many school woodworking and craft programs we are losing our resources.  We would love to see the community visiting our space and looking through the shelves of books.  We are always in need of old woodworking, jewelry making, ceramics, any book that relates to craft, art, design, art history, etc .  We want to be a source of inspiration.  We will even come to pick them up.
Any consideration is greatly appreciated
Regards

Almost there

Today we looked at another location for the school.  It's the old post office on Main Street in Uxbridge.  The building is a perfect place to start, it'll take a lot of work but we could easily get it together for spring.
We will know in a couple of weeks if we can lease it.  Please get in touch and let us know what type of classes you'd like to see happen at the school.  As always- we want to serve the community and be your school.
Keep checking in.
Regards
