I teach in a small school. We do not have a school library. Our school day is longer and so is our school year so we can help our students make gains in some of the areas where they are not at grade level, including their reading abilities. The best way my students will get better at reading is if I am directly able to put a book in their hands. Therefore, I maintain my own classroom library for students to check out books. I spend weekends at garage sales and used book stores, trying to extend the money as far as I possibly can. For my students, the books they read are often their only experiences seeing into other worlds beyond their neighborhoods. Unfortunately, their families often cannot afford to provide the person-building experiences that more well-off students are exposed to from a young age. It is through books that I can help my students learn what life is like in North Korea, what happened to a soldier's feet and mind during the Vietnam War, and how a girl survived being shot by the Taliban, only to go on to push for education for all. This is the gift I can give my students, the best lesson, the most lasting impression. Having books for students who do not have access in other places is vital to their academic development and empathetic growth. Please consider donating if you, too, know the power of a good book!
