A message from Ms. Dahill & Library News



Project Cicero is a partnership of independent, public, and parochial schools, private and public organizations and corporations whose primary goal is to create and supplement classroom libraries for children in under-resourced New York City public schools through an annual citywide book drive. Project Cicero also puts books into homeless shelters, juvenile detention facilities, community centers, pre and after school programs, and wherever else there is a need. This past year, its 16th year of operation, Project Cicero distributed more than 150,000 books. To date, Project Cicero has placed almost three million books into more than 15,000 classrooms and school libraries reaching over 650,00 children in under-resourced schools in New York City.
