Book Protectors

Help me give my students a way to protect books in their bookbag with book pouches. Waterbottles and books are friends but sometimes have difficulty getting along in bookbags. Waterbottless usually win resulting in sad, soggy books.

My Project

Help our students to protect their books in their bookbags. Books love taking trips home to read with students. Unfortunately, sometimes their journeys are a little difficult. Snacks sometimes try to feed the book and don't realize books do not eat them. Waterbottles and books are usually friends but sometimes they get in fights and Unfortunately the book always loses.

Our goal is to purchase zipper pouches for the students to help protect their books.

By donating to this project, our Wildcats will each get a zipper pouch to put their books in while they are checked out. This way students can enjoy the books over and over.
