Recycling
Have You Heard the News?
We are involved in the Funding Factory Cartridge and Cell Phone Recycling Programs! These programs are FREE and easy but will only work with your support. Simply donate your empty printer cartridges and used cell phones to Longwood's Library Media Center and we'll take it from there! We will recycle the cartridges and cell phones through the Funding Factory to earn points, which we can exchange for new cartridges and other technology.
Did you know that over 300 million cartridges were thrown away last year alone? Help us turn this waste into valuable school equipment! Donate your used cell phones and empty laser and inkjet printer cartridges today! Together we can make this recycling program a huge success.
The Funding Factory also has a Business Support Program. This allows businesses to support organizations FREE of charge by providing them with prepaid shipping boxes. If you work in a business that may be interested in supporting us, please visit the Funding Factory Web site here or call toll-free, 1.888.883.8237. If you would like to collect these items for us at your place of employment, the boxes and postage will be provided. Otherwise, you may bring the items into the LMC and we will send them out from here.
Thank you for your support!

Two book fairs are held each year. One in the Fall during Parent-Teacher Conference week, and the other during the week of Open House. All profits are used in the LMC for materials or to improve the library space.
Stop by and see us during the book fair in the LMC. We will have a wonderful selection of books and gifts from scholastic to choose from.
