Hekab Be Biblioteca Library Summer course 2010 Wishlist

Summer course 2010 Wishlist— the beginning
LEAVING YOUR DONATION AT THE LIBRARY
Our assistant director, Carlos, speaks English and can answer any questions you have. Please do not hesitate to leave your donation with either Carlos or Leo, whether it’s a donation in kind or a cash donation. They will ask you to sign our guest book with your name, address and a description of what you donated.

These are items that we know we will need for our summer school program, please check back we will be adding to this list: Wishlist

1. liquid white glue such as elmer’s (but can be any brand). large bottle are good since they don’t dry out like the individual size one)— please no glue sticks, they dry up too fast!
2. liquid paint, preferably washable/water based for easy child and table clean up. ALL colors, but we can mix as needed with just red, blue, yellow, back & white. large size please (at least 1 liter, bigger is better!)
3. Play doh or any brand non-toxic modeling clay, all colors. Again, the larger the better.
4. Small disposable plates (dessert size), paper would be ideal— locally it’s hard to find anything other than plastic and styrofoam.
5. rolls of white paper for art projects— such as “butcher paper”

Please note that all the items posted on the most needed items and updated 2010 wish lists below are also still current.

• 2-3 staplers we have plenty of staples just need the stapler!

Still needed items

• Math workbooks, with exercises in addition, subtraction, multiplication & division, for ages kindergarten to 6th grade (these do not necessarily need to be in Spanish as long as exercises are self-explanatory or have brief instructions in English— e.g. no word problems please)
• Blank white paper, letter size, such as copy paper or printer paper
• Liquid glue, such as Elmer’s (or any brand), large size is fine
