My Project

Our school district boasts the most diverse student population in our state and is the fifth most diverse district in the country!

It is our mission in the library to make sure that every child sees themselves and their interests well-represented on our shelves.

Non-fiction books age quickly in this dynamic time of scientific growth and discovery. Kids love to read about space and animals and faraway places and volcanoes and oceans and history. Keeping that information as up-to-date as possible is an ongoing quest.

Library budgets are often very small and your donation allows me to add current, relevant, desirable books to our shelves.
