To show my thanks for educators and librarians, and to help improve kids’ book access, here’s a #KidsNeedBooks giveaway.
EDUCATORS & LIBRARIANS: RT/follow to enter to win these books.
I hope the winner gives some of these to Ss to keep, while adding the rest to their library.
This looks like something my reluctant readers will love! @amyvbland – at Crystal Lake, IL
