Turning the Page on Discarded Books: CUSD Aids Global Literacy

CUSD Books Find New Purpose in Libraries Around the World

Campbell Union School District (CUSD) is proud to partner with the Maryam Library Foundation in supporting global literacy while advancing its efforts to make every child a reader. The district donates thousands of obsolete textbooks and other gently used books to the foundation that helps build libraries in underserved communities around the world.

Over the past two years, CUSD has contributed more than 13,000 books—3,200 went to establish libraries in Kenya, over 5,000 supported an ongoing project in Tanzania, and another 5,000 will be headed to Uganda.

High school student volunteer, Ayaan Raza, collects the books from CUSD’s elementary and middle schools and the district warehouse. He says he appreciates the help he receives from the CUSD library staff and Ms. Sifuentez. Donations include board-approved, obsolete middle school textbooks in English Language Arts and Social Studies, leveled literacy intervention books, and discarded library novels. 

"This partnership reflects our district’s commitment to education and embodies one of our core values: being community builders, not just locally, but globally," said Dr. Shelly Viramontez, Superintendent. "We’re proud to give these books new life and help expand access to learning for children and families around the world."
