These donated items will go into rural elementary schools in Lantian County in the Shaanxi Province.  Thank you PFW!

They collected a wide range of children’s books that included: history, science, short stories, fairy tales, books for very young readers, children’s reference books, and an assortment of comic books.

These books will go into a school located in the Shaanxi Province in the coming months.  We will be complimenting their donation of used books with new books.  Book collections like these really help us keep our costs down, but also get more books into the hands of eager young readers.  We’ll keep you posted as to the progress of their books finding a new home.

The Peninsula Beijing learned about The Library Project through a book collection conducted by ClarkMorgan at one of their recent free “demo” courses.
