My Project

Our middle school students are always putting in requests for books that they want to read. Once they find a series that they enjoy reading, they're always requesting and awaiting the arrival of the next book in that series. Some of them find books about specific topics that they enjoy and are constantly asking for more books about that topic to read.

It's important to keep finding books that fit the interests of our students to help foster their love for reading.

We're always taking book requests from students throughout the year so that we can continue to grow our library around the needs of our students.

If students find a book series or specific topic that they enjoy reading about, they will learn to find a love for reading. Having a love for reading is important to help support students learning as they continue their education. We're looking to add books that foster their love for reading and will help them want to keep reading and growing their vocabulary.
