James Patterson to Donate $1.25M to School Libraries

By Dianna Dilworth 

James Patterson has plans to donate $1.25 million to school libraries this year.

To make this happen, the bestselling author has teamed up with the Scholastic Reading Club. The club will reach out to its network of 62,000 schools and 800,000 teachers and encourage them to apply for some of this funding. In addition, Scholastic is matching Patterson’s donations with“Bonus Points,” which teachers can cash in for books and other classroom materials at schools that win awards.
