My Project

My Tiny Tigers love reading in the library and they enjoy taking their books home to share with their families. The addition of new books to our library will continue to enhance the print-rich school library that I strive to create.

Every student book that is placed in the library is chosen with the students in mind.

The students treat their library books with love and care. They are thankful for the opportunities to read and learn from the library collection.

With these new books, my students will be able to have additional resources to check out, read, and enjoy!
