By purchasing one
or more titles from the wish list below, you'll be enhancing our
K-12 curriculum, expanding our students' perspectives, and helping
to build our School's collection of books written by and about
African Americans! Our goal is to reach the American Library
Associations guideline of 20 books per student. Thanks to everyone's
help we now have two titles per student in the growing Wiggins
Collection!
The average price of a library book is $25. This guarantees each new
hardcover arrives ready for immediate circulation with a protective
cover, a barcode and spine label. Please support this special
Collection unique to our School library. Each purchased book will
include a bookplate with your name inscribed. Thank you for your
generosity!
The following list includes titles requested by our librarian,
students, and faculty: |
