Imagine a world where all children can see themselves in the pages of a book. Imagine a world where books can be windows to learn about other cultures, critical contributors to our world, and movements that have helped to shape our nation.

The MSU Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Celebration Planning Committee is hosting another Stuff the Library event as a component of this year's celebration to benefit East Lansing Public Schools. The event aims to fill school libraries with books on topics of social justice and with characters representing diverse backgrounds.

Improving children's access to books, especially those that share diverse perspectives, is a great way for anyone to create social change! By giving to this campaign, you directly address the goals of quality education for all through promotion and support of youth literacy and reduced inequalities through building of cultural understanding among young readers. 

Will you help us reach our goal of $5,000 and over 1,000 books donated? Through our partnerships with local schools and organizations, your support helps raise awareness around social justice, assists in promoting books with diverse representations or characters, stories, and authors and gets the books into the hands of children aged 0-18 in the City of East Lansing.

*Gifts to the MLK Jr. Day Fund support the purchase of books for this project by the MSU Center for Community Engaged Learning. Books can also be dropped off at various locations across campus or purchased directly through committee's Amazon Wishlist.*
