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

We are in need of markers and colored pencils to expand our collection of art supplies available for use within the library. These items are essential for various activities, including art workshops, coloring sessions, and creative projects for all age groups.

Additionally, we would greatly appreciate these supply caddies to organize and store these materials efficiently, ensuring easy access and maintenance of a tidy workspace for our patrons.

Your generous support in providing these supplies would significantly contribute to the enrichment of our library programs and services. We are confident that these resources will be utilized to their fullest potential by our students.
