‘TEXT AND THE CITY’ BOOST FOR SCHOOL LIBRARIES

School officials yesterday enlisted “Sex and the City” star Sarah Jessica Parker to encourage people to shop till they drop this week, all to aid school libraries.

She helped announce Shop for Public Schools week, in which more than 200 retailers will donate a portion of their sales to help school libraries.

The Fund For Public Schools initiative – which runs through next Wednesday – has raised more than $5 million since it was started in 2004.

“This is a great opportunity for all New Yorkers to get involved,” said Parker.

A list of participating retailers is online at shopforpublicschools.org.
