My Project

Our elementary library is in great need and could use your help! Our book shelves are quite dated and could use some help. The rotating shelves would not only help our library organization, but would add excitement to our book collection as well as to our students when they are browsing and checking out books each week.

We are also in need of books!

Our students love historical fiction and would be absolutely thrilled to receive the added series. My younger students would also be thrilled with a few, newer, silly stories. Our collection is quite old and desperately needs to be updated.

Lastly, we often include art projects in our library lessons. It’s amazing how quickly we go through some of our art supplies! The added supplies would be a tremendous help!
