The CCC hopes to specifically target seniors who no longer need any test preparation material, used or new. At the moment, they are unable to purchase new materials with their funds, but they hope to receive donations once testing season ends. “We have a lending library, allowing kids to check out books for a week rather than the previous policy of three to four days,” Sheikh said. 3 views this week
