| HALF PINT SCHOOLS | ||
|
|
||
| The Half Pint School division of the Half Pint Library program launched in 2003 as a way to teach children the importance of philanthropy and to raise new and gently used books for children in need. Local school librarians and administrators can register their school as an official Half Pint School by hosting a book drive on their campus to benefit their local Half Pint Library. The 2006 Half Pint School drive happens nationwide February 6 through 17. Start sprouting hope in your classrooms today. | ||
