Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

As a K-12 librarian, my favorite part of my job is when a student takes home a new book to read, especially when I know it's a good one. Helping this happen on a regular basis, however, is also my biggest challenge: I have so many students who come into the library to look around, only to turn to me and say they just don't like reading, they don't feel that they're adept at it, it doesn't bring them joy, and so on.

My goal is to fill our high school library with as much high-interest, high-quality, engaging literature as possible, so that students find themselves excited about reading something— maybe for the first time in a long time.

This list of additions to our catalog includes many award-winning, acclaimed additions to the dramatic genres that are by far the most popular in terms of book check-out. The list comprises a mix of fiction and informative, creative nonfiction by diverse authors, in order to help students imagine as well as think and learn.
