My Project
Our students love our library. As the new librarian, I have spent the last year and a half trying to update it and fill the shelves with books they want to read. I get books at Goodwill, Facebook posts and free books donated from neighbors. DonorsChoose and donors like you make a significant impact on Title 1 schools like our school. Many students do not have books at home and I want them to have to the same opportunity to check out new books that kids at other schools have.
One book at a time will help our library grow and students thrive in reading.
Your donation will help my dream come true for this library and community of young readers.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
