***Of all of the book drives on the FoPRR website, this is the most urgent. If you’re looking to help rez kids with books, this is the one that will have the biggest impact.***
I’m working closely with the Librarian at the Margaret Keating Elementary School library on the Yurok Reservation in CA to help get it stocked up. The school has not had a library for decades so this will take a big undertaking. Please take a look at their wishlist and please let me know which book you are sending so I can mark it as donated. This donation drive is urgent and ongoing and I update it daily. It takes a lot to stock up on quality books but I know with your support we can help this school build a wonderful resource for the Yurok kids!
Please be aware that many book vendors often do not let the gift recipient know who sent the books. If you have the option of including a gift card message with your order, please include your name and address if you’d like so they’ll know who sent the donation. If your book vendor doesn’t have a gift option and you’d like me to let them know who sent the books, let me know. If you have any questions about this donation drive, please contact me.
Thanks so much for supporting the Yurok students at Margaret Keating Elementary School!
