More than 400 students at Lemon Grove Academy Elementary got free books Tuesday, thanks to the generosity of people across San Diego.
Through the "If You Give a Child a Book" campaign, ABC 10News viewers and employees donated money to buy books for kids. The Scripps Howard Foundation matched many of the donations, and Scholastic also pitched in. Together, they raised $13,289, enough to buy 2,657 books.
Because of all that, each kid at the school could pick five free books to add to their library at home.
