“Singer and pop culture icon Taylor Swift has partnered with Scholastic to donate 25,000 books to 25 New York City schools in need of more resources. The 25 schools will each respectively receive 1,000 books to promote independent reading among its students. The donation was made through the Scholastic Possible Fund and is a another effort from Swift to support the company’s “Open a Word of Possible” initiative. In October 2014, Swift helped make a webcast for Scholatic’s site that showed “how books, reading and writing have influenced her and opened her world” which has been viewed over 4.5 million times from students nationally.”(more)
