In My Reading Era

Help me give my students new and exciting picture books that they can check out and enjoy from the school library!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Y.'s classroom raised $351

My Project

The students in my school LOVE to read and they get so excited about new books. I recently went through my collection of picture books and got rid of hundreds of books that were from the 1990s and early 2000s. By giving to this project, you would be helping to add more updated books to the school library collection to help get our collection into a more current Reading Era!

Imagine the excitement of being a student and finding that perfect, just-right book from the school library!

Our students love to find new and exciting books and share them with their teachers, classmates, and family members. I can't wait to add these new books to our school library shelves for kids to check out and read for years to come.
