The original books are donated to the library's collection for everyone to read. Copies of these student-generated books can also be ordered by the students and their parents. There are certain websites that will publish students' original stories and artwork. One such website is Kidpub. Participants from schools all over the world are solicited for various projects to be done by students during the course of the school year.
All communication is done via e-mail.
