I am a teacher, and last year our school started an initiative to raise our poor literacy scores. Each teacher was given money to start a classroom library where kids could read books when there is time to in class (for instance, when done taking a test; when there is a sub; etc), and can check out the books to kids. This initiative helped raise our junior literacy score from 41% literate to 75% literate in ONE YEAR.

My library is decent-sized, but kids check out a lot of books, so I would like to keep it stocked. I am requesting books to keep in my library. Used books are fine; I just request that they be in good condition. I am allowed to keep "restricted" books (ones with adult situations or language), within reason. I am looking ALL SORTS of books. Fiction (adult fiction AND teen fiction; any genre), non-fiction, books of comic strips, poetry books, anything. I like to keep materials of all reading abilities available, as some of our kids are very low-level readers, which is why I like to keep books of comic strips. Reading ANYTHING is better than reading nothing!

You do NOT have to go out and buy a new book to donate, but feel free to if you wish. I'm mostly just requesting books that you have laying around that you would like to donate to us.

If you would like to help us out, offer to grant this wish and tell me what you have, and I will message you the shipping information.

Thank you!
