With these funds I will...

Our library is in desperate need of some refreshing!  We have lost many dear books to age, wear and tear, baby brothers, dogs, rain - you name it!  Especially hard hit are the books that are part of our series collection ("Geronimo Stilton", "Bailey School Kids", "Puppy Place", etc).  We need to purchase new ones to replace the ones that were lost or destroyed, and we need to replace many that are literally rubber-banded together!  Please help us accomplish this goal!

Our students love reading, and I like to give them books that will further draw them into a lifelong love of reading.  It's hard to convince a child they'll love a book when it's full of tape and the pages are hanging out!  Kids hate it when they're deep into a series and discover that we are missing many of the books from the series.

I will need approximately 200 paperback books to replenish our series section.  Each book will cost between $4.25 and $5.50, including shipping and processing.  Our library volunteers will be coating the new books in laminate, which will help them to last much longer and continue to look nice for longer.  Total need: $850-$1,100.
