Knowing that these books will last for many years and will be enjoyed by hundreds of children is really fantastic. \r\nWhen I announced to each class how much money was raised and what that meant for the library, their eyes lit up. Being able to tell them that I was able to get exact titles they requested and have been wanting for months is so special. My students are very diligent, they will check-up with me to see if I was able to get what they put in the recommendation box and I feel this gift has been encouraging for the rest of the students to use the recommendation box more as well, now knowing their wish can be granted. I know they all have been looking forward to the possibility of a new book, especially one they request themselves.\r\nLastly, I want to give my deepest thanks to you all again. This is so much more then new books, it's proof that people care about literature for children and libraries in general. You are helping show children how important, exciting, and enjoyable reading really is.
