I am a Teacher for 3rd and 4th graders with Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities. We are a Title 1 school in a very low income neighborhood.

My students many of my students come from homes where the parents can not afford to buy them books to keep at home. I try to provide my students with a variety of books in my classroom library so they can expand their minds to new horizons. Our problem is that our current bookshelves are in bad shape and have broken a couple times this year. While I have repaired them, I would like to have a nice looking area to display and organize our class library and that starts with new shelving.

We are requesting that you assist us in purchasing three bookshelves for our classroom library. This will help us organize and present our books for the students to use and enjoy. It will also make space for us to expand our library and introduce new books to my students.

Your help will make it possible for our class to have a presentable library area that will allow us to display our books and keep them organized.
