Replace Beloved Books

Help me give my students the books that they love and ask for.

My Project

Sometimes a student must suddenly move without warning, and their library books are lost in the mix. Sometimes a book is so well-loved that the binding breaks and the pages fall out. All of the books on this are that loved.

Please help bring these beloved books back to our library.

These are some of the most well-loved books published for children, and our students miss them. We have owned all of them before, but we need new ones because they are falling to pieces or have been lost because of factors that are out of our students' control.

If you donate to this project, will bring joy to the children who love nothing more than to snuggle up with a relatable graphic novel or a hilarious picture book. Thank you for your support.

Ms. Genre East End Community School Grades PreK-2
