Beautiful Books Need Bookcase

My students need 2 bookcases.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

What in the world do you do when you have books, but no bookcase? I teach 3rd grade students in an urban area. My school is an excellent learning environment enriched with educated and professional teachers. However, even with an excellent educational staff, supplies still seem to be low.

My classroom library is overflowing with books! My students seem to read through many books over the course of just one week! I have been stacking crates on top of each other and placing books inside of them to create a library experience. To be honest, it's not the same!

I really need a bookcase to begin a placing books inside of them! My books are scattered in laundry baskets and crates. A bookcase would be a perfect addition to my classroom furniture. The students would be able to easily grab any book they wanted, as well as place the book back where it belongs. It would teach the students great organizational skills as well as help in developing their reading. The students are reluctant to choose books from my classroom library because it looks completely unorganized.

Your generous donation would enable my classroom library to be an actual library! It would enable my students to choose any book at their will. The donation would make an enormous difference within my classroom.
