We in the organization Westchase GALS value education and believe in the power of literacy to improve the lives of children and families. In the past year we have seen the divide widen between children with access to reading material, and those who have very limited access, as schools and libraries closed during the Pandemic.
September is Florida Adult and Family Literacy Month, and Westchase GALS has decided to dedicate this month to doing something to narrow that gap.
We are endeavoring to furnish school libraries at multiple Hillsborough County Title I elementary schools with new, spine-labeled, leveled, and catalogued books, and we need your help!
All donations will be matched at 50% by Usborne Books & More!
Why is it so important that these books be spine-labeled, leveled, and catalogued? Unfortunately, in schools where staff are spread thin and don't have the resources to sift through and label the books, donations often languish in bins and boxes rather than get on the shelves where they can be useful. This way the books will go straight onto the shelves and be ready to be checked out and loved by students!
Books need to be read in order to change lives, and that's what we plan to make happen! Thank you for your help in this ambitious project!
