Free Bookstore
We're thrilled to share that the district purchased books to expand every student's library! Every District 47 school will have a "free bookstore" allowing students to shop and choose 2-3 books of their choice. English and Spanish books are available. This initiative, paid for by ESSER funds, aims to empower students by giving them the opportunity to choose books that interest them, igniting a lifelong love for reading. Book shopping at these free bookstores will continue throughout May. Chat with your child about their book selections!
