Berg students with their bags of free books

Berg Elementary partnered with the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation to bring the My Home Library program to students!

My Home Library is an initiative of the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation, which provides students with face-to-face access to books to help build their own home library.

Books were distributed in Berg’s Library by volunteers from Marathon Oil who joined and helped in this celebration of literacy. They handed out free books, book bags, and bookmarks to all Kindergarten through 5th grade students. Each student at Berg received 6 brand new books for FREE!

It was an exciting opportunity and an excellent way for students to start building their own home libraries. A big thank you to the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation and Marathon Oil for their generosity!
