My Project

Spring is a season of renewal, and as our students return to in-person learning following Operation Metro Surge, I want to welcome them back with shelves full of stories that mirror their own lives.

This campaign is to stock our library with the highest-rated teen reads from the New York Public Library and the Los Angeles Public Library.

These two systems curate collections that most authentically reflect the immense diversity of our student body.

After a challenging period of remote transitions, providing high-interest, inclusive literature is the best way to reignite a love for reading. Your contribution will put these acclaimed books directly into our students' hands.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
