Library Wish List

Enrich our School Library

Help Bridgeview Montessori enhance our library collection by donating books you may have forgotten about or outgrown. The parent volunteer librarians have been working hard to input our entire collection so that student can enjoy exploring the stacks. Please feel free to leave books at the desk or drop them off with your child's teacher.

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.
