My Project

Our urban high school is a vibrant tapestry of cultures, backgrounds, and stories. We believe every one of our diverse teens deserves to see themselves reflected in the books they read and to be captivated by new releases and bestsellers that speak to their experiences. A great library is the heart of a school, but many of our shelves hold outdated titles that struggle to compete for our students' attention.

I am hoping to revitalize our library with best sellers and new releases that our students are talking about and want to read.

Your donation helps to foster a love of reading and encouraging a sense of belonging among our student body. Together, we can open up new worlds and inspire a lifelong pursuit of knowledge for every teen in our community. Please consider donating today.
