My Project

Our mission is to inspire citizens, scholars, artists, and activists. Our school has a strong student-centered reading culture, and our library serves ALL of our students. Because our library serves all kinds of readers, we have diverse reading interests. We have an AP Government class reading choice books about politics and the government, and they want to better understand the political climate of our country.

Students want to better understand what is happening in politics in the United States, and these books will make that possible.

We offer classroom and independent checkout time daily. We are committed to student reading, and we want all students to have immediate access to books they want to read. This project will help us add new copies of the most requested titles by our students in our AP Government class.

Thank you for helping get great books in the hands of our readers!
