My Project

Kids are tough on books. Even when they try to be careful, things happen! Books are dropped, pages tear, and brand new books slowly become more and more worn. It is possible to prolong the life of our books with simple repairs, but we need more supplies to keep our books in good shape.

Simple repairs mean books last longer, giving more children the chance to read them.

The most popular books wear out first, which is a problem when books become hard to replace. I'd like to keep our books together, and train students to help me with these repairs!
