My Project

We removed thousands of outdated nonfiction titles from our high school library last year and are looking to refresh our collection with high-interest biographies and updated books on subjects that appeal to teens, such as career planning, nutrition, hobbies, financial literacy, sports and fitness.

Donations to this project will encourage students who prefer nonfiction to read more!

While we do use some of our small book budget on nonfiction, we don't want to take too much away from new fiction spending since that makes up the bulk of what our students choose to read. Thanks!
