We’re saving a space in our Book Nook for your family!
Donate to More Great Spaces and support the Junior School’s next chapter, including our new library.
Book Nook rendering is an approximation. Finishes and colouring may vary slighty.
Proudly located across from the new Library, the Donor Book Nook will demonstrate the generosity of The York School community and honour the donors who made More Great Spaces possible.
We’ve reached 70% of the $10 million More Great Spaces goal. Now we’re asking everyone in our community who has not participated in this game-changing project to get involved and add your book to this meaningful and beautiful display. Help raise the last 30%!
More Great Spaces opens an exciting new chapter at the Junior School, with the addition of our New Library. A bright, open space, the new library will look out to the playground. With comfy reading nooks, students will soon find their favourite spaces to curl up with a book and imagine. The donor Book Nook celebrates our love of reading and our appreciation of the value that books and learning bring to our lives — a vital part of every York student's journey.
Each book spine is customizable, allowing you to include your family's name, your child's name, or a personal message. The Book Nook will be crafted by a leading manufacturer of donor recognition signage using durable, high-end materials. The symbols on the ‘book’ spines will represent York’s Houses - Air, Fire, Earth and Water.
Existing major gift donors to the More Great Spaces campaign will be given a book to personalize in the Book Nook.
Books will be represented in one of five York School palette colours.
