Captivate and Transform

Bank Street College of Education is the home of the Children's Book Committee, which helps parents, teachers and educators "choose books that children will find captivating and transforming."

The Committee publishes a "64-page annotated list. More than 600 titles. Fiction and nonfiction for babies and toddlers through age fourteen. Arranged by age and category."

If you need persuading, they offer a sample page (pdf) on their website.

You could buy the list and then ask the entire school community to purchase and donate all the books on the list. Then you could have a book party to thank them.

As I have mentioned repeatedly and often, GIFT is an organization that can tell you all you need to know about grassroots fundraising.
