My Project

Throughout the school year students are finding books that they are interested in reading, only to find that we don't have the next book in the series yet. Some of them find books they like and are looking for more books about similar topics and asking us to add them to our collection.

This project will allow us to fulfill the wishes of our students and get more books in their hands.

These are books that were requested by students or books that are about the popular book topics that our students find interesting.

There's nothing better than walking into the library and seeing new books about topics that you're interested in reading. Sometimes all it takes is finding one book that a student is interested in to help them find a lifelong love for reading.
