It's not just the library though. There is an entire room filled with school supplies for teachers to get what they need and not have to pay for them out of their own pocket.
"We know teachers spend $750 annually and we know that's probably very very low compared to what it is realistically. Educators have a huge job, probably the biggest they've ever had in the history of education right now," said Jenn Burton, Executive Director, Northwest ISD Education Foundation.
"If we can do anything to keep that money in their pocket and make their job easier, that's what we want to do."
