My Project

We love stories here at our school and really need some new books to feed the minds of these young readers. Our school is looking to provide fresh reading material to expand our library and keep it current.

We are looking for books that help us learn about inspiring people and different cultures.

Our school wants a library with stories that promote culture, history, and current topics of importance.

We would be very grateful for any donations you put towards this DonorsChoose. We look forward to any new books we may get our hands on, thank you.
