Immaculate Conception School Gains Additional Library Funding From Chapters Fundraiser For

Immaculate Conception School became one of 138 schools in Canada to have its library benefit from proceeds made by the Chapter’s Indigo Love of Reading Foundation’s annual Adopt a School fundraiser.

The majority of the school’s library budget comes from book fair fundraisers and new purchases have been slim since 2019.

The money will be used to grow the school’s S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) book collection, update their fiction series, create a Maker Space for students and increase the number of books they have by/about BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and) People of Colour) and other under-represented groups.

Donations are being accepted in person at Chapters Peterborough, located at 873 Lansdowne St. between Sept. 12 and Oct. 2.
