Enrich our School Library

Help Bridgeview Montessori enhance our library and classroom collections by donating books.

Many families choose to honor a Bridgeview Montessori tradition of  donating a title when their child has a birthday as a way to remember that wonderful milestone. Please consider this as an option as well. We always put a bookplate recognizing your child and your generosity when receiving this gift.
