Lending Library
Our Mission
The Merced County Office of Education Lending Library program aims to provide students localized access to reading materials in regions where children aren’t able to easily access books. These MCOE Lending Libraries will give students and adults the opportunity to check out a book from reading levels ranging from preschool to adult. When they are finished with one book, they can exchange it for another.

What It Is About
-
Community Partnership
The first phase of the Lending Libraries were built by Merced County Valley Community School students in Steve Macha’s woodshop class. Adult students in the Merced County Office of Education Regional Occupational Program are now assisting with the construction of the Lending Libraries while in the Adult ROP Construction Technology class. 50 additional Lending Libraries were built in partnership by Livingston High students in Mr. Zamudio’s 2019-2020 woodshop class.
