Donation
suggestions for the Jeffrey Simpson Memorial Book Collection
Listed below are book
titles we would like to add to the
book collection established in memory of Jeffrey Simpson, a John Muir
Middle
School 6th grader killed in a tragic train accident in March
of
2001. These titles come recommended by School Library Journal
and are a
good fit for the students at our school. Paperback editions are fine.
You may
also simply donate money, which will be deposited into our
Jeffrey
Simpson student body account, then used by the school librarian to
purchase
books for the collection. If you choose this route, make your cheque to
“John
Muir Middle School” with “Jeffrey Simpson Book Collection” written in
the memo
portion. Then, mail it to:
John Muir Middle School

Finally, used books in new condition (no yellow or brittle pages,
minimal cover wear) are also appreciated.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity in supporting this cause.
Sincerely,
Russell Tomlin, MLIS
