(And I know the other 29% are going to be checked out right away too!)\r\n\r\nThank you for making such a difference for our students! You are making the world of reading come alive for them.

I cannot even tell you what a huge gift this is to our school! Large print books tend to be more expensive than other books, and your immense generosity brought reading accessibility to our students at levels we would not otherwise have been able to meet. You are amazing, and we are so grateful!\r\n\r\nThe pictures show our students' first looks at the books you gave us. They absolutely loved them! When they first saw the books, three different students told me that they loved how it helped them read because the words were bigger! This direct quote from a student was awesome: \"Ooooh! It's nice! It makes it easier to read!\" One student said it made her brain feel better. All of this happened because of YOU! \r\n\r\nYesterday, a student was looking for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. We had a \"traditional font\" copy as well as your large print version. She picked the large print version you donated. It is so much easier to read, and it's a beautiful book!\r\n\r\nOne of our special education teachers had initially asked me about large print books. She (along with the rest of us) is thrilled that it will also increase reading accessibility for our students who have vision challenges. Our school is so grateful for you and for your incredible support!\r\n\r\nThank you so, so, so much, dear donors, for bringing these large print books to our school library!

There is some safety knowing that papers you need will be available when they need them too.

The pictures show some of their first looks at your amazing gift to us. I wish you could have heard their comments! One student said he wanted to use the book to make shelves with his dad. Another was excited to know how to make woodworking joints! We took the books down to one of our woodworking classes so they could be some of the first to see them, and they loved them too! The pictures captured a little of this, but the excitement was so much more than the pictures show! Our fantastic woodworking teacher was also so very happy about the woodworking books you provided. He spent a lot of time looking through them, and he was sharing things from the books that he had built! He is already talking about how they can be used with students next year!\r\n\r\nYou have given such a huge gift - opening a new world of woodworking for so many of our students - and supporting and increasing the skills of those who already do some woodworking!
