“Our library has been transformed by the REACH grant we have received.  Thanks to these funds, we were able to address the critical needs of often underserved groups, making a tremendous difference to our special education classes and English language learners.”

- Roseann Bayer, Librarian, I.S. 143, The Eleanor Roosevelt School

School libraries complement New York City public school reforms, providing the direct resources to support curriculum, instruction, and specialized efforts geared to improving student literacy. The Fund for Public Schools’ Library REACH (Revitalizing Education for Adolescents and Children) program uses private sector contributions to transform school libraries.

Library REACH is based on the idea that a small amount of money – when strategically placed in the hands of an enthusiastic librarian and a principal with vision – can transform a public school library into a center for literacy and learning for the entire school community.
