Megan's Library of Love book drive began in 2006, in memory of a student who passed away. The
to send books to a school
was created by Megan's classmates at Cedar Grove-Belgium Middle School as a tribute（悼念）to her.
The project formed out of the desire
Megan, to help our community heal, and to make a
in the life of others. Students have many
of Megan, but the most vivid was her love for her family and the diligent
she gave to her classmates. They combined this with her
for learning and reading to create the Library of Love. This project honors Megan's special qualities. In the
of one of her classmates, Megan was, “A good daughter, a good student, a good friend.” We are all blessed to have been a
of Megan's life.
Every February, on Megan's birthday, fifth graders at Cedar Grove-Belgium Middle School
donations of newly purchased books and send them to a school in need. The “Love books” are truly a
of love meant to
reading and learning. Students earn the money for postage by writing letters to local
.The fifth graders also have the
of labeling every book with a Library of Love sticker（标签）,
the books into categories（类别）, and
all the books for shipping.
In the two years since the Library of Love
began, students have collected over 5000 newly purchased books to send to schools in need. In 2006, 3419 books were sent to St. Bernard's Parish to help
their school library after Hurricane Katrina destroyed the community. In 2007, 1613 books were sent to White Mountain School in Alaska, who
their high school in a fire. Students look forward to sending the gift of
to other schools
