Donations Wanted

Each year, library books go missing or are damaged beyond repair. Sometimes students move away, sometimes they change homes, and sometimes they simply cannot afford to pay the replacement cost. In addition to books, sometimes the library needs other items. Please peruse the items below. If you can donate call the school or email me and let me know. 

 

 

Folding Portable Tables

The old cafeteria tables were removed over a year ago and replaced with newer,

smaller picnic-style tables with benches. Although great for the students, the

library no longer has tables to use for Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) giveaways.

The library is looking to purchase or borrow three or four 4' - 6' folding, portable

tables, as shown in the photo.

 

 

Books

If you would like to donate books to the library they must be brand new or in gently used condition. Gently used means NO significant or permanent marks, tears, rips, yellowing, inside spine cracked, pages falling out, or strong order (such as cigarettes, musty basement, etc.) The library does not accept encyclopedias, dictionaries, textbooks, or magazines. Please donate or recycle these responsibly. 

 

Below is a list of titles the library would like to add to the collection. Hardbound books are preferred, unless otherwise noted. HB = hardbound books. PB = paperback books. One copy is requested unless otherwise noted.

 

For non-fiction please be sure copyright is newer, 2010-2015. Books must be written for children. Content must be elementary school appropriate.

 

I will try to keep the list below updated by removing titles as they are received.

 

Thank you so much for supporting Grout Library! =)
