My Project

More Is Now Achievable (MINA) is a small charter school located in Sanford, North Carolina. Our student population is approximately 400 students from grades kindergarten through 8th grade. Our campus is diverse with many students coming from many different backgrounds. However they all have very similar tastes in books: Graphic Novels and Manga! The library is small and all of the books were second hand when they arrived here.

I am asking for generous donors like you to help me promote literacy through books they love.

I have added these books after hearing from students what they want to read, as well as a few books that I feel will pique their interests. Thank you in advance!
