Pop star, singer and songwriter Taylor Swift donated 25,000 new books to schools in need in partnership with Scholastic.

25 schools will each receive 1,000 new children’s books through the Scholastic Possible Fund as a result of Taylor’s support of the Company’s “Open a World of Possible,” initiative, designed to promote independent reading among all children. BuzzFeed reported.

Scholastic’s “Open a World of Possible” reading initiative and campaign aims to inspire a lifelong love of learning and independent reading in children.

“Scholastic is honored to join with Taylor Swift who continues to show a passion for literacy and a commitment to spreading the message of how influential books can be in a child’s life,” said Greg Worrell, President, Scholastic Education.

“Through this donation, we aim to encourage independent reading which inspires a love of learning and to ‘Open a World of Possible’ for more New York City students by making sure they have access to the very best children’s books.”
