Lugging around the Library

Help me give my students bags for their library books. A tangible book is priceless!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ferrigno's classroom raised $251

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students are allowed to taken home books from our class library. In order to keep the books intact, bags are essential. These bags prevent the books from getting torn and bent. When we go to buddy read with other classes, these bags are super helpful for carrying our favorite stories to share.

Please help our students get these traveling library bags so we can read to succeed.

The students love the colorful bags and try to fill them with engaging stories that they love. Nowadays, with books online, many students will opt to read digital books. However, having these bags creates an atmosphere where students want to fill the bags with tangible books that they can hold.
