The idea for The Book Swap was created by one of my middle school classes four years ago. It is a student-led project which provides an opportunity for classmates to trade "used to them" books for "new to them" books. They can keep any book they choose for as long as they want, or they can trade it for another book. However, for many of my students, owning a book is a luxury. That is why anyone is allowed to take a book, without a trade, on their first visit to The Book Swap. Also, some books offered in trade are inappropriate for middle schoolers or are too damaged to be used. So, we have to supplement our inventory with outside donations and books that I purchase with my own money. The goal of The Book Swap is to provide a book, at no cost, to any student who desires one. We believe that owning a book gives a student a sense of power, and now we want to move beyond our school walls to give more students in West Virginia this opportunity. We are raising the funds to purchase a book vending machine, which we will transport around the state, to offer free books to students in a fun and unique way. The books I have chosen from your source will be used to fill that vending machine and supplement The Book Swap at my school. Your generous donations will help my students attain their goal of reaching fellow students across the state with books.
