My Students

Our community is a mix of rural and suburban students representing a growing number of diverse cultures.

They are in need of a creative outlet as they navigate the new challenges from the pandemic.

They love to read and make their own comics, so graphic novels are perfect for them.

They love graphic novels and I love to see them reading for enjoyment. Currently, graphic novels are checked out more than any other genre in our library. However, it is also our smallest section.

My Project

I am working to fill our library with books that will be exciting and support even my lowest level reader. One thing I noticed this year is that students are picking familiar, engaging and comforting books to help them manage the stress of Covid-19. They are using books as a break from everything that is happening in the world. Besides just being fun to read, graphic novels help with comprehension and give students the confidence to complete an interesting story that could be daunting in chapter-book form.

Expanding our collection of graphic novels will help our students find the escape they are looking for.

We are lacking in the graphic novel section. Thanks to Donors Choose, we are up to 123 graphic novels! We would love to grow the collection to at least 150 titles. They bring comfort and relief as navigate through this challenging time.
