My Students

Did you have a person in your life that could turn leftover cartons and old newspaper into the most exciting art project ever? For me, that person is my mom. I am hoping these craft books can do the same thing for my students!

Our children come from a working class community.

Rarely do they get to visit the public library, so I am ravenous to create a school library that has every type of book to fit their needs. I get very excited to hear that a student has taken one of our books home and a parent is reading it!

My Project

My students need a set of six books from the "Creative Crafts For Kids" series and four other craft books such as Cool Crafts from Cardboard and Wrapping Paper, and from Old Jeans. The set of books I am requesting teaches children to make crafts out of recycled materials. Not all of our kids have paints, beads, and other new craft materials, but most of them have cardboard boxes, old jeans, and magazines. My crew of creative artists will gobble these books up!

I want our library and -all libraries- to be a place with open doors where everything is possible.

These books will make our dismal 700s section shine with current, interesting books. I want them to learn that the library has answers to all their questions, like "How can I make a cool gift for my mom's birthday without spending a dime?" and "How can I use these old magazines and newspapers to complete my character collage for my school project?"

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
