My Project

This project is geared towards providing high interest books that express diverse stories that represent our student population. When our students get books that are engaging to them, they absolutely gobble the books up! Our students love books and deserve to see themselves represented in the book collection in our library.

When students see themselves in books, they are able to delve into the stories and fully live in them.

This makes it so that our students can develop a reading lifestyle of their very own. One that helps them learn and grow and become well rounded people.
