My Project

Good afternoon, we have required reading for our students, but the librarian can no longer buy class sets of those books. My students love this selection of books that we read every year. Unfortunately they have become torn and some are taped and unmanageable to read. I need new classroom sets. Words on a page last forever, but over 10yrs and 250 children the books do not. They desperately need to be replaced. Please give to my students so we can continue to enjoy reading these timeless favorites with excitement and ease.
