The Winnetka Neighborhood Council is helping some local schools deal with a shortage of books. It recently allocated $2,200 to buy books at the following elementary schools: Fulbright, Limeric, Sunnybrae and Winnetka.

Also, the council a few months ago donated $2,500 to Sunnybrae Elementary to make improvements to its lunch area and student garden.
