CHICAGO (CBS) — A South Side school has thousands of new books on its shelves thanks to some local students. 

More than a dozen local student athletes volunteered their time Sunday morning, delivering more than 1,000 donated children’s books to Dulles Elementary. 

Before Sunday, Dulles in West Woodlawn didn’t have a library.

Organizers say their work isn’t done yet. They are working to help other schools in need of resources in the near future.
