Please enjoy this special note from one of our EBL students.

Thank you so much. I want to thank you because you donated all that money just to give us free books.  I really appreciate this because I love to read.  I ENJOY reading.  Now everyone can get free books.  THANK  YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!

I have a never known anyone to be so generous to our school, but now our library has all of these great books and this is something special.  I want to know what I can do to make it up to you, because now I have a soft spot for you in my heart.  When can you come to my school so I can read you a book?! Remember, you are always welcome in this home of kids.
