In collaboration with local law enforcement, my students will assemble book exchange boxes “Little Free Libraries” and place them throughout the community including community gardens and police precincts. This will be a unique, impactful literacy project that will focus on education, service-learning, community safety and community building. Career Technical Education students will collaborate with local law enforcement and build the Little Free Libraries and place books in them so that access to reading will increase in communities that need it most. The teachers will gain an understanding of Financial Literacy because local marketing and advertising organizations will be brought in to teach about how to make best use of these book exchange boxes.
