The American Pride Library is a grassroots project launched by parents
to send patriotic books to Scottsdale Unified School District's
kindergarten-to-12th grade school libraries!
Let's fill our classrooms and libraries with books that showcase honest stories about America's past, revealing the lessons learned from dark spots in our nation's history, and celebrating the accomplishments. These age-appropriate books will also give students a deeper understanding of the U.S. constitution and the wisdom of our Founding Fathers in establishing a government structure that
promotes equal opportunities for all.
Supporting an American Pride Library program in Scottsdale offers an opportunity to take meaningful action that will have a positive impact on our community's youth!

“We highly recommend supporting the American Pride Library in Scottsdale. Kids need honest books about our amazing history so they can take advantage of America’s great blessings for themselves.”
Joseph Chaplik
AZ State Representative
“In the past few years, we’ve seen a disturbing trend of leftist, anti-American, and even sexualized books entering our public-school libraries. That is why it is encouraging to see parents take a stand with Scottsdale Unites for Educational Integrity and donate patriotic, age-appropriate books to K-12 public school libraries here in the Scottsdale Unified School District. As your representative, I have supported accountability and transparency in our public school system and opposed the dangerous comprehensive sex education in our elementary schools. I am proud to support the American Pride Library program which will counteract leftist activists by bringing pro-American resources to our public schools here in Scottsdale.”
Adrienne Johnson, Sr. Advisor,
Arizona Women of Action
“Today, GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network) is sending Rainbow Library kits to SUSD librarians, and encouraging staff to create elaborate displays to highlight sexual orientation and gender identity books to children. What if schools were instead provided the resources to create pro-American displays in every library? To my knowledge, there is no other organization offering this service, so it’s a blessing that the APL program was created to fill this void."
