The New RISSE Library – You Bought It For Them

by Jon Katz
You Bought It For Them

Before last week, this library, lounge and reading room was a teacher’s fantasy. They had books, but no chairs, no light, no quiet.

Today they have six bean bag chairs (more on the way), two carpets coming, and colorful floor lamps to read by. Before your help, the school – they have nearly 200 students – and three small rooms – offered no place for reading or studying, no place to think or be with friends quietly, or study or just sit and think. More lamps are on the way, and some inspiration posters about diversity and freedom, all from the RISSE Amazon Wish List.

There are boxes coming in every day. “It’s hard to believe, we sometimes think we are dreaming.” The Army Of Good makes dreams come true, that is what we do.
