Please HELP!!!!

The Lucky River High School library has long been an important part of the school experience, a place where students can find invaluable resources for their classwork and, perhaps even more important, take refuge in a peaceful haven for studying or reading. But the library has fallen into disrepair, with worn books, outdated computers, and old and damaged furniture. In addition, the roof leaks, a problem that is expected to worsen, with ever-increasing risk of a cave-in over the poetry section. While many worthy projects are competing for inclusion in the school's budget, renovation of the library is urgent. Furthermore, the school can apply for emergency building-maintenance funds from the city to help cover the cost of roof repair and furniture replacement. If we act now, the Lucky River High School community can once again enjoy its beloved library.
