Hilary's "Read For Each Other" Library Fundraiser!

One of the rewarding bits about being an independent business is the ability to focus on local impact with our donations and outreach. It isn't something we talk about much, mostly because we believe in the actions more than the publicity of those actions. Right now, however, we are going to share a link with you, because one of our wonderful customers had a very cool idea and it turned into a real thing, and we’d love as many people as possible to get involved.

Hilary is one of our customer-friends and also one of the amazing and involved teachers with CPS. In the vein of birthday fundraising she asked us to help create this little adventure. The idea is to get reading materials into the hands of educators to help provide them with tools necessary to understand cultural, ethnic, and religious groups that they are not a part of. This will allow educators to better understand their students, colleagues, community members, and other stakeholders.

For every dozen books that are purchased, Skylark will make an additional contribution to the fundraiser.

Thanks, Hilary!
