My Project

Our nonfiction selection in our school library is very small. We would love some new nonfiction books to add to our library. The students classes do animal and biography projects with their classes.

Who doesn't love to read about people, animals, planets, sports, and history!

I have students on a daily basis ask for nonfiction books. Learning about animals, people, sports, experiences, and cultures can inspire and motivate them. Nonfiction books present real information in engaging ways, sparking curiosity and encouraging students to explore new topics and to seek out knowledge and information throughout their lives.
