Our Bookshelves Are Falling Down (Part 2)

Help me give my students sturdy bookshelves to house our collection of fiction literature.

My Project

Students are super hard on bookshelves. They push on them, lean on them, sit up against them, and over time, the bookshelves just can't take it any longer. Our current bookshelves are made of cheap particle board and probably cost no more than $25 each. This was a great option at the time but the old bookshelves are not holding up so well now.

My students deserve a sturdy library that allows them to easily search for their books in an organized space.

These shelves will replace our current library shelves that are only fit for the trash bin at this point. The unique cubby arrangement will allow me to sort out books by author and genre and students will be able to easily book shop.

Thank you in advance for considering funding this important project.
