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

Students at Sumner Ave Elementary School love to visit our library!

The seasonal book display is one of the most popular areas for students to explore!

The library recently underwent weeding, and many old and outdated books were removed from our collection. Now I have discovered that I need to boost our seasonal offerings! I have chosen a diverse array of books that relate to the season of autumn. These books should appeal to all of our students and enable them to see themselves reflected in the books on our shelves. I look forward to making these books available to our students.
