Announcing WNDB’s newest initiative! 📚 At WNDB, we believe that a school library filled with diverse books can build empathy, bolster literacy, and foster lifelong love of reading. Over 8,000 public schools in America do not have a school library, according to the Department of Ed, while many others are chronically underfunded. That's why We Need Diverse Books is launching our Adopt a Library initiative, which will provide $10,000 in books and materials to a U.S. school in need of a library — or a school library that requires serious updating. For the inaugural cycle of the Adopt a Library initiative, we will select one school that will receive $10,000 in diverse books and materials (shelving, devices, furniture, etc.) to create a welcoming and inclusive library for its students. Interested educators are invited to fill out the application and tell us about your school! Check out the link below (🔗 also in bio!) to read the full eligibility guidelines and apply ⬇️ 🍎 https://lnkd.in/g_Niz-tA Applications open TODAY! WNDB will make a selection in August, and the winner will be announced publicly. Be sure to share with your librarian/educator friends!
