Boise State students raise funds to buy books for families in need
Students working on the Books in Every Home program on the Quad
A group of Boise State students from Children's and Young Adult Literature (ENGLIT 320) is preparing to visit a Boise elementary school next month to give away new and gently used books to families in need.
The students have currently raised more than half the goal of their PonyUp campaign, which ends Friday, October. 24.
In November, the Boise State team will visit Grade 1-4 classrooms at a community school in the Boise district - a public school that offers extra services to families. The team will meet the children, read aloud to them and surprise them with bags of books to keep.
Books in Every Home is a Boise State service-learning project that has placed thousands of new books in the hands and homes of families across the Boise area for the past eight years. The project was founded in an English literature capstone class in 2017 and currently runs every other fall in a class open to all students with upper-division standing.
