If my project is funded, I imagine my homeroom students walking into my classroom as the morning bell rings. I am surrounded by dozens of empty Amazon boxes and stacks of new colorful books. With curiosity and excitement, they rush over to find me labeling the books by genre and sorting them into book bins. In awe, a child asks, "Woah! Where did all these books come from?!" "People who want you to love reading," I say with a smile. "You mean a bunch of random people just gave us these books?" another asks. "Oooooh, can I read this one?!" a girl asks as she picks one up. A boy from Pakistan makes an impressed face when he sees there is book all about Ramadan. "Yo! She even got Marvel and DC books!" a boy shouts. One of my shy girls stands in the back on her tippy-toes trying to peek through. She sees the pile marked, "Animals" and smiles as her shoulders perk up inwards. I tell the students I will explain all about our new library when I see them in class later that day. Kids who I used to have to beg to pick up a book are suddenly counting down how many hours until my class because they cannot wait for independent reading to begin.
