My Project

As a computer science teacher, I’m passionate about sparking a love of learning in my students. A classroom library would be a fantastic way to foster a reading culture and inspire creativity. I’d love to share some of my favorite books with my students, hoping to reignite their passion for reading.

I believe that reading for pleasure can have a profound impact on a student’s life.

By providing access to a diverse range of books, we can encourage critical thinking, empathy, and imagination.

With your support, we can create a space where students can explore new worlds, discover new ideas, and simply enjoy a good book. Thank you for helping us build a better future, one book at a time.

To demonstrate my passion for reading, I run an Instagram account where I post book recommendations. If you're looking for a great read, I highly recommend "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir, "Dark Matter" by Blake Crouch, "The Women" by Kristin Hannah, and "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
