• Making Cents

  Funded Nov 30, 2021

  Thank you for providing access to books about money management. I believe that the students are building knowledge and personal financial understanding when reading about financial situations (fiction & nonfiction) as well as improving their personal literacy. Investing, saving or spending and thinking about needs verses wants are things our youth need to consider when making purchases. Reading about experiences with money will help young people think about the value of the dollar. Of course the most popular titles are the ones with the word "millionaire" on the cover. It's good to have goals.”

• Honoring Indigenous Peoples

  Funded Oct 21, 2021

  Thank you for rethinking how we celebrate and honor Indigenous Peoples. Our library is striving to be part of a larger movement to see a more complete and accurate history of the United States taught in our schools. These new titles modernized the Native Peoples perspective in our library. Native Americans are not history, the importance of celebrating the survival and contemporary experiences of Native peoples has never been more necessary. Focusing on diversity and inclusion in education hopefully will contribute to a more empathetic tomorrow. Representation matters; we needed these books.”

• Love Sports? Love Reading?

  Funded Oct 8, 2021

  Thank you for improving our library offerings. Specifically, the sports biographies are flying off the shelves! These new titles have modernized our sports and recreation themed section. The sports obsessed 8 to 12 year old students are partner reading these new titles so they don't have to wait so long to check them out. Several students even advised that they received some similar titles for Christmas. Participating in something they love while relaxing feeds their interests while adding to their knowledge. Reading about activities they also enjoy doing or watching is activating their minds and motivating them to be the best version of themselves, physically and intellectually.”
