€ 3500,- Contribute to our "Room to Dream" Campaign to expand our number of libraries from 5,000 to 10,000 by 2010. For € 3500,- you can fund one of thousands of libraries we are creating to reach an additional 3 million children with books and library resources. You can designate your gift to establish a library within an existing room in a school for example in India. Each of these libraries serves hundreds of students annually and includes as many as 300-1000 local language and English language books (depending on the size of the room). Your sponsorship funds the creation of a child-friendly learning environment that includes: books, furniture, games, puzzles, posters, librarian training, and three years of support from Room to Read. As a sponsor, you will receive quarterly reports on our Reading Room <http://www.roomtoread.org/programs/libraries.html> Program detailing the progress we are making across all of our geographies as we scale from 5,000 to 10,000 libraries.
