My Project

My current classroom library bookshelves are falling apart and these bookshelves will replace them. Currently, my small target bookshelves are beginning to bend at the weight of my classroom library books. After serving their purpose for 5 years, it's time for them to retire.

My classroom library is constantly growing, as is my student’s love of reading.

As someone who loves and values organization, these bookshelves will help ensure that I can keep my classroom neat and organized. My students will be able to easily access and find their favorite books.
