As if we needed another reason to love Taylor Swift....

It was just announced that Taylor Swift has donated 25,000 new Scholastic books to 25 New York City schools, according to UPI.com.

The gift was made through the Scholastic Possible Fund’s "Open a World of Possible" initiative, which was designed to promote independent reading among children. The Welcome to New York singer is a loyal supporter of the program.

“Scholastic is honored to join with Taylor Swift, who continues to show a passion for literacy and a commitment to spreading the message of how influential books can be in a child's life," Greg Worrell, president of Scholastic Education. "Through this donation, we aim to encourage independent reading, which inspires a love of learning and to 'Open a World of Possible' for more New York City students by making sure they have access to the very best children's books."

According to PR Newswire, 25 schools will each receive 1,000 new children's books. "We are really looking forward to receiving these books and incorporating them into our school's library so that all students in our building can have access to them," added Nova Xiomara, principal of P.S. 132, Juan Pablo Duarte School, in Manhattan.
