In busy elementary school libraries like Carrie Busey the most-loved books take a beating. Instead of constantly replacing copies, Mandee Crow applied for a grant to help bring them back to life with a Thermobind machine that safely re-glues spines and keeps pages where they belong. From Dog Man to Pokémon manuals, the Guinness World Records, and transitional favorites like the Branches series, these high-demand titles deserve a second (and third!) life. Mandee has been able to repair 20 beloved books that were waiting on her repair cart before the thermobind arrived. Now she can ✨ Keep popular series circulating ✨ Reduce replacement costs ✨ Teach students responsibility and book care ✨ Boost reading engagement during critical learning years Even better? Students can partner with her in the repair process while learning that accidents happen and that solutions exist. This is awesome because when books stay on the shelves, reading engagement stays high, and readers keep growing. Thank you donors for helping us protect the books that students love most!
