Funded Nov 29, 2022Thank you so much for your generous contribution to this project. The graphic novel lending library is a huge hit! Students cannot wait for their turn to borrow a book. The Spanish language Dogman and Babysitter Little Sister series are the most popular ones.
These books keep my students engaged in reading in their native language at home. Each week they can borrow a different book to bring home for one week. Since the lending library has started, some students have even transitioned to the English language Dogman books.
Thank you again for supporting my project. Many of my students are Asylum seekers and have been on a long arduous journey before arriving in New York City. These books bring them joy and continue to foster their love of reading.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Russo
