Two iconic Texas brands – H-E-B and the Kendra Scott Foundation, joined forces to open six Yellow Libraries in Title I elementary schools across the state. Each Yellow Library provides access to hundreds of new bilingual and multicultural books, a custom yellow bookshelf and literacy resources to support teachers and families. This partnership brings together H-E-B’s Read 3 program—which has donated over 6 million books across Texas—with the Kendra Scott Foundation’s Yellow Library initiative, which has already reached 8,000 students nationwide. The first Yellow Library was unveiled at Camino Real Elementary in Dale, TX and the day was marked with special guest reader Camila Alves McConaughey reading her children’s book Just Try One Bite with third-grade students.
