Our Library Gives Books To Students On Their Birthday!!!

My students need a library of leveled books for interesting reading.

Mrs. O. William Howard Taft Elementary School
Boise, ID Grades 3-5

Our library serves the needs of a high poverty population, grades K-6. Many of these children rarely get anything NEW and few own books in their home. We have a "Birthday Book" program that gifts each of our students with a new book, that they choose themselves.

We need books so that we can continue to give them away on each child's birthday. Currently we don't have enough books to gift to ALL students this year. Our donations have completely dried up due to economic troubles. This year we need books for all grades K-6.

We need a good variety of books for our students. The children LOVE to come in and pick out their own book. Many ask each year if we are still giving away books!

Please help each child to feel REALLY special on their "special day" by donating books to our school!!! Help them know someone out there cares!
