What's the ideal size for high school?

Donate used books now!

Project Cicero launched its tenth annual book drive to help stock under-resourced public schools, community centers, and homeless shelters throughout the city. According to its website, over the past nine years Project Cicero has placed 1.3 million books in 7500 classrooms and libraries, reaching 300,000 students.

Through March 4, 2010, participating public, independent, and parochial schools will be collecting new and gently-used children’s and young adult books. For information on how to organize a book drive or to donate new books from Project Cicero’s Wish List on Amazon.com check out their website or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
