My Project

Hey there book lovers and champions of young minds!

Our library's hold list is bursting at the seams, and our students are stuck waiting for the stories they can't wait to explore.

But guess what? You can help us change that!

I'm on a mission to get those high-demand books off the hold list and into the hands of our amazing students. When our students get their hands on the books they truly want to read, their excitement for learning skyrockets. I get to hear excited whispers peer-to-peer such as "You've got to read this book!" Or "Ooooh, the sequel is in!" This project isn't just about reducing wait times; it's about igniting and sustaining a lifelong love for reading and reading in community.

Your donation, big or small, will go directly towards buying the books our students are clamoring for. Every bit helps us create a library where every student can find the stories that speak to them.
