Clear the BOOK Lists for Local Educators

You can now nominate an educator for 2026!

Our annual Books for Educators program is back — and this year, we’re doing even more to support teachers right here in Dane County.

In addition to providing 1,000 educators with 25+ brand-new diverse books for their classrooms, we’re joining the #ClearTheList movement to make an even bigger impact.

 

​Nominate a public K–12 educator in Dane or Sauk County (or yourself!) to be featured on our social media. Together, the MRP community will help clear their book lists! Each selected educator will:

📚 Choose 25 brand-new books on Bookshop to support their students’ reading journeys

💛 Get a major boost from our community of book lovers to help clear their lists

✏️ Have their impact stories featured on our social media platforms

Know an educator who goes above and beyond? Fill out the form below: 

 

 



Don’t wait - you have until July 10th to submit your nominations!

Note: Educators must be actively teaching at a public Dane or Sauk County K–12 school to be eligible.

Below, you’ll find the educators you nominated last year, along with their classroom book wish lists. Each one represents a local educator working hard to create inclusive, engaging spaces for their students.
