Shelf Help

Help me give my students book repair supplies to fix our well loved books.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. York's classroom raised $200

This project is fully funded

My Project

Book repair supplies can get expensive and when a book is well loved, it sometimes needs a little shelf help. We try to make our dollars go further by repairing to extend the life of our collection.

Many of our graphic novels and manga titles get worn out quickly and need some TLC.

A little tape and glue can make the difference between having all of a series and missing the third one in a set of ten.

We have over 1300 students at our school and since reading is the foundation for all learning, we want to keep those well read titles circulating.
