My Project

I want to start off the school year in the best way possible by boosting our library collection with a variety of new fantastic fiction and nonfiction titles. I want to make our library a safe, comfortable space where kids feel at home and a place where they can escape and simply enjoy being. Stocking it with games, beanbag chairs, and wonderful reading materials will help me create a fun, enriching environment that meets a variety of student and staff needs and will continue to do so for years to come.
