Bilingual Books for Our School Library!

My Project

Our students look forward to going to the library every week. They look forward to finding a book to check out, and they enjoy reading in the library.

The library is the heart of our school!

We want every student to find the perfect book, but the one are we are lacking in is bilingual books. We have many students who both speak and read Chinese, but we don't have any bilingual books in our library. This project will change that by adding some of our library's most popular titles in Chinese.

It is so important for students to see themselves in the stories they read. I am thrilled to add these diverse titles to our library!
