Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hi! I am a vocational teacher in Queens. I would like to set up a library for our students and the staff as well! Reading is so important at an early age. I would like to help foster this love of reading and teach students what a librarian does and how to work in a library. I hope this vocation becomes a success in our school.

We have plenty of book donations, but some shelves and a rug would help tie it together.

Please consider donating to help us make this a success! THANK YOU!
