Zoe's Office - August 26

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe didn't spend many weekend days in her office, but with the threat of knowledge that new students would be arriving within days, it seemed like a good idea to be extraordinarily prepared.

The door is open for anyone who needs her.

"Uh, maybe you should just start with what you want to ask permission for, and we'll see if there need to be other levels of permission and forms from there," Zoe replied.

"I'd like to do a book drive," Willow said. "Nothing too fancy, just asking students and townies to donate books that they might not be using anymore, asking for books the school library might not want anymore, that sort of thing. The books would then be donated to the libraries of towns in need, as appropriate. For example Peter's hometown really needs books, but books on car repair wouldn't be very useful."

"Well, I think that sounds like an admirable idea," Zoe said, smiling. "It would be nice to put forth a little charitable effort, and I don't think forms will be necessary."

"Yay!" Willow said, all but bouncing on her feet. "Thank you! I mean I heard his town lacked books and then I thought of other people lacking books and I know there can be higher priorities like food and safety and shelter but books need love and people need books so why not try to make them matchy, you know?"

Zoe smirked at Willow's reaction. "That makes a lot of sense. And it sounds to me like you're definitely the right person to be running this sort of thing."

"Is it okay if I post flyers in the hallways?" Willow asked. "And maybe put an ad on the radio?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe smiled, and nodded. "That sounds perfectly reasonable."

"Yay!" Willow bounced again. "Thank you very much! And, you know, if you have any books to donate - " Willow finished that by silently holding out her hands. She was grinning, though, so clearly not expecting any now.

"I'll see what I can find." Zoe laughed. "I think my predecessors have left some books behind that I'd be happy to clear out."

"Thank you!" Willow said. "I can stop by another time to come collect them. In the meanwhile, I have a radio ad to write! Thank you very much, ma'am!"

[bigdamnprincipal]

"You're very welcome," Zoe replied. "Good luck with that."
