My Project

Students are more likely to read the books they can see. Help us buy book stands to display our library collection.

Creating dynamic library shelving by displaying books with the cover facing out increases book circulation, increases reading, and makes a more engaging and inviting library experience.

Most of my students read well below grade level, and encouraging students to read books that they enjoy is a top priority at our school library. We received funding to order new books, but we also need to display our books with book stands so they are seen.

Let's make our library an engaging place that encourages reading!
