The Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries has awarded $5,000 each to three Dallas Independent School District campuses to enhance their library book and magazine collections.

A. Maceo Smith New Tech High School, Robert T. Hill Middle School, and T.W. Browne Middle School are three of just 219 schools nationwide to receive a grant. The funds will be used to
expand, update and diversify the recipients’ library book collections. In Dallas ISD, schools plan to purchase books to support their diverse enrollment of students.
