My Project

My list is made up of new and popular book titles that have been requested by students to add to our school's library. I am a new librarian to our school and have asked students what they want to see more of. We have lots of space on our shelves ready to be filled. Students have already started filling out book requests forms and these titles will circulate regularly.

My goal is to get the books students want to read so they will cultivate their love for reading and be life long readers!
