Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries Gives $5K to Cabrillo School

Cabrillo Elementary has been awarded $5,000 from The Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries to expand, update and diversify its library collection.

Cabrillo is one of 241 school libraries being awarded grants for 2011.

"A big thanks to our library assistant, Jose de la Luz," said Nestor Suarez, principal. "He applied for the grant and Cabrillo Elementary has been selected to receive the maximum amount."

The new books will supplement Cabrillo's selections, which are enjoyed daily by students at the Pt. Loma neighborhood.
