I am a librarian at a school whose population consists of students with the most profound disabilities. The students within the school have a wide range of disabilities. About half the students within our school are nonverbal and at least a quarter of the students are in wheelchairs.

We do not have any desks or tables in our library! The only desk we have in the library is my desk. Currently, I use my desk as an area for the students to play games and work on puzzles. I do not mind allowing the students to use this desk but it is too small. Only one or two students can fit around this desk.

A large, new table would be so wonderful for my students to sit around. They can use this table to work on puzzles or to enjoy a good book. This table is perfect because it can be raised for the wheelchairs to fit underneath.

If you choose to help fund this project you will make it possible for my students to learn in a more productive environment. Thank you for kindness!
