The Allstate Foundation has donated $400,000 to replace books at HISD’s Braeburn, Hilliard, Mitchell and Scarborough Elementary schools

Four Houston schools have received 27,000 books to restock their libraries after Hurricane Harvey destroyed them.

The Allstate Foundation donated $400,000 to replace books at Braeburn, Hilliard, Mitchell, and Scarborough Elementary schools, which are part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and were among the most damaged in the district.

School officials called the damage catastrophic and three of those campuses are being completely rebuilt.

HISD estimates it will cost about $100 million.
