Patterson Donates $2.5 Million to Teachers

James Patterson is continuing the Patterson Partnership with Scholastic Book Clubs for a sixth year, this time pledging $2.5 million to libraries in classrooms. He will give 5,000 teachers grants of $500 each (with Scholastic Book Clubs offering matching funds in the form of bonus points) to buy books for the classroom. The 5,000 winners were chosen from over 100,000 entries.

For more information, including the complete list of recipients, see the Scholastic website.

While you are here, please take a moment to support Locus with a one-time or recurring donation. We rely on reader donations to keep the magazine and site going, and would like to keep the site paywall free, but WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT to continue quality coverage of the science fiction and fantasy field.
