Megan's Library of Love

By Student Reporter Sasha Lane

Megan’s library of Love was started to honor Megan in her passing, and has been running for five years. Megan’s library of love has shipped books all around the country which has come to a total of 12,081 books. In the resent collection they hoped to collect 2,919 books for John Essex School in Demopolis, Alabama. When Mrs. Anderson contacted the school the principal said that we where an answer to her prayers. John Essex School has a poverty rate of 95% for the children that are attending the school. On January 28th during the girl’s middle school basketball game they had a bake sale that all profits went to sending the books to John Essex School. Two Olympians came to promote the movin’ and munchin’ program which had the middle school students eating healthy and exercising to help give them miles to get the books to Alabama. The amount of books that we are going to be sending to John Essex School is, 3,374.
