My Project

I would like to be able to offer not only my students' access to books, but any student within my school. At this time, my school does not have a library. This means students only have access to limited, teacher-funded classroom libraries. These books will provide these students with books that will make all the difference in their learning. The goal for this project is to put books into the hands of students who want to read or those who are learning, to find a love of books and reading.

Ms. Jackson ALA Lexington - High School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
