My Project

I can not keep books about different types of pets on my library shelves. My students are interested in learning about the different pets they have and want. As the Library Media Specialist, I want to make sure I have the most current information about these animals.

I know they can find information on the Internet, but I want to provide them with physical books.

I want to provide them with the joy of being able to check out a book and take it home to share with their families.

Through the donation of these books, you will inspire students to follow their curiosity. These books will keep inspiring for years to come. Just imagine your donation will provide books that will travel many miles and visit many homes.

The love of learning and reading are lifetime gifts.
