Donate to More Great Spaces and support the Junior School’s next chapter. Our donors are the main characters who are essential to moving the plot forward. It’s only fitting that we’ll recognize your generosity with a special book in our recognition Book Nook.

We’re saving a space in our book nook for your family!

Now is the perfect time to add your ‘book’ to the Book Nook and support the More Great Spaces renovation. This unique display will be located prominently on the main floor of the Junior School, ensuring your family's legacy endures for decades to come. 

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 cozy 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.
