With more than 20 schools in New York City unable to reopen and dozens
of schools in New Jersey still closed in the wake of Hurricane Sandy,
Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company,
today announced that it will donate one million books to schools and libraries
in the hardest-hit areas of the tri-state region. To help in the recovery
efforts with support for the educators, families and students who have suffered
losses, Scholastic is accepting book grant requests at www.scholastic.com/bookgrants.
