At my library, we do Series Passports, so students can earn a pop and a candy bar for reading an entire series and passing the accompanying AR tests. Harry Potter and Captain Underpants are popular ones, so this will help students reach their Passport goals.\r\n\r\nA lot of the picture books you donated were winter/Christmas themed. My books in this area are so old and outdated, so this will give kids a lot of new choices to take home and read during this magical time of the year\r\n\r\nBiographies are also very outdated in my library, so the Who Was/Who Is books that you donated are going to be flying off the shelves.

That was really fun for them. \r\n I am hoping with their newly learned skills they can transfer these skills to some productive jobs in their own lives.
