The story
Kids read more when they see themselves in books. But many of our classroom libraries are hand-me-downs from the 1990s.
This campaign puts about 85 new books in every one of our 24 classrooms, chosen by teachers and our librarian, with stories and authors that reflect the families at Maple Ridge.
A child who finds the right book becomes a reader for life.
Who this helps
Every student will have new books within arm’s reach.
