My Project

I am the librarian for two elementary schools, both filled with creative, fun kids who look to me as a teacher, as an information specialist, and as a fellow enthusiastic reader.

They come from a variety of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, but in the library, they share excitement over new books.

According to KidsCount, 43% of students in our district are eligible for free and reduced lunch – 7 out of 15 elementary schools are Title I – and 15% receive special education services. Many students cannot get to the public library, so their checkouts at the school library are their main access to books.

After conducting a Mock Caldecott with kindergartners and first graders; a Mock Sibert with second grade; and introducing students to Geisel favorites, I would love to have the most current winners of these and several other awards - which were just announced a couple of weeks ago - in our libraries.

The ALA winners are high quality and have been vetted by librarians across the country. I've actually read many of them myself and can envision handing almost every one on my wish list to specific students.

Having these books in our libraries will help my students keep up on the latest award-winners, getting the opportunity to read new classics.

Last year’s winners were hits; I can’t keep last year’s Geisel honor “Fox at Night” on the shelf, and "Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre” is now a RI Children’s Book Award nominee. I look forward to sharing this year’s list with my students.
