My Project

This project will help bring engaging biographies into the hands of our students. I am looking to add interesting biographies to the nonfiction section of our Elementary library. The "Who Is" and "I am" books are the perfect way to engage students while reading about important people from the past and today.

Our students are always finding important people that they can connect with and look up to.

I want to get engaging books about some of those important people in our library to help interest students as they find books they enjoy reading.

My goal is to add these engaging biographies into our library to provide students with an opportunity to expand their knowledge about important people from the past and living today.
