Teachers in need of aid can find some online

CHAMPAIGN – Teacher Lindsey Little wanted civil rights novels to use in her eighth-grade reading and writing class at Jefferson Middle School, but the school's library didn't have enough of the books she needed.

She learned about a Web site called DonorsChoose from a fellow teacher. It allows teachers to post requests for classroom materials or supplies, and individual donors can choose to donate to the requests they find most compelling.
