I’m all about reading and encouraging kids to read. This is a great cause! It’s inspiring to know that others care enough about the lack of funding for books in school libraries to create Fill The Shelves to purchase books. Just like when I bought all the school supplies for a 6th grade boy this year, I made sure to include a book appropriate for his reading level. It’s important to encourage children to read! What would this world be without the influence of a good book?

This sounds like such a fantastic idea. Is it only in that one state? This ought to be in every state. My mother used to teach school and I know there are many schools without the budget to have good books.

It’s in multiple states. You can go to their website and submit a letter/email about your school library.
It’s pretty awesome!
