My Project

I want to create a special space in our school library for story time, independent reading and community building activities. Our current rug is falling apart and cannot fit the 26+ students that come during a class visit. Unfortunately, our school doesn't have the funding right now to purchase a new one.

We need a comfortable space in the library for students to learn, read and sit during story time.

Please help us make the library a special place for reading and learning! The library is the heart of our small and diverse Title I school. Classrooms visit the library every week, students read in the library during recess and lunch every day, and we hold afterschool programs and clubs in the library.

Thank you for all your support!
