Federal Way librarian awarded for turning a storage space into a library

Librarian Pam Nelson of Pacific Christian Academy in Federal Way was awarded $500 by Goodwill after she turned a storage room into a school library.

When Pacific Christian Academy was limited with its budget, Nelson took it upon herself to make the space for students by building an environment of academic excellence through reading.

She spent her weekends scouring the shelves of Goodwill for used books.

“I began making routine trips to Goodwill,” Nelson said. “Each trip takes about two hours, and right now we have over 8,000 books in that library.”
