My Project

Each school day, students take home books from the library. Some days the shelves are depleted and checkout is less exciting. Please help my students by providing more options for their favorite books and authors. Encouraging every child to read is my objective and the more inventory this library provides will help make that an achievable target. These popular titles are what the students ask for daily. They hope to read the series and not just the first or random book in the series, which is why this project focuses on the collections. Please support this endeavor.
