Name
Connor Academy (Chubbuck)- Bucks for Books
Description
This Donation will buy a book for Connor Academy in Chubbuck. Their Librarian says "Our biggest obstacle is encouraging parents to sit and read wit their children each night. I feel that if you have quality literature, parents will enjoy the story as much as the student! Great books mean great readers!
Terms and Conditions
In 2019, the Idaho Lottery learned 28 percent of Idaho elementary schools had a library budget of less than $100 per year for book procurement. In reality, it would take nearly $8,000 every year per school to maintain the library collection students need to succeed. With that in mind, the Idaho Lottery worked with the Idaho Commission for Libraries to start Bucks For Books. Literacy has been a focus of Idaho Governor Brad Little since he took office in 2019. Getting all Idaho students reading at grade level by the third grade is imperative as that is the point where students transition from learning-to-read to reading-to-learn. Having a well-stocked library and the ability for all students to take books home is crucial in getting all Idaho students where they need to be.
