Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our library is bustling with students borrowing books, which is causing a bit of chaos.

We need bookmark holders and bins for organization.

Students are also losing reading time due to a lack of an easily accessible location for bookmarks. Also, books frequently end up in the wrong places, creating a cluttered environment. I’ve found that the bins currently available in our library are very effective for organizing books that were not checked out in the past, making them a more popular choice for post-bin organization. I am looking forward to tackling fairy tales and biography, which are the most frequently used areas, to help students find books faster.

I look forward to getting a rocket!
