📚 The Meridian Junior High School Library is growing—and we need your help!
We’re looking for donations of gently used, age-appropriate books to add to our collection.

Together, we can build a collection for all Mustangs to enjoy! 🐎 Books may be dropped off at the MJHS Office during school hours 8am-3pm. #MustangReaders #LibraryLove #BookDonation #MeridianMustangs #ReachHigher
