My Students

Every day I see students in kindergarten through 5th grade who love coming to the library. They're excited about learning. They ask big questions and share insightful thoughts about the stories, events, things, and people we talk and learn about in our library.

One of the many highlights of my job is hearing excited whispers when students eye books they want to check out upon entering the library.

It is a wonderful thing to watch a child select books that he or she is excited to read.

My Project

We returned to in-person school this year after 18+ months at home. In March 2020 we left school thinking we would only be out for two weeks to help flatten the COVID-19 curve. Students were sent home with many books for the two weeks including library books. During our 18+ months away from our school building, life happened, and many library books were damaged or lost.

The students with whom I work are enthusiastic readers.

Graphic novels are a particular favorite. This Donors Choose project aims to replace high-demand books that were misplaced or damaged during the time we were away from school.

Providing students with the books they want to read feeds their enthusiasm and keeps them reading!
