MADISON (WKOW) -- A donation of 1,000 books will give students at Lincoln Elementary in Madison direct access to books in their classrooms. Some students will even receive new books they can call their own.
The donation from PaperBackSwap.com (PBS) is thanks to a nomination made during graduate coursework by Lincoln teacher Jim Igielski.
"This donation was an incredible investment for our students at Lincoln School," said Lincoln Principal Deborah Hoffman.
