My Project

Students love to get a chance to read new books. The books in this project are many books that our library doesn't currently have but would love to read. This project includes a great variety of Graphic Novels. Graphic Novels appeal to students who struggle with reading as it provides great picture support.

This great list of titles will go into the hands of many students and are at a variety of reading levels so that everybody can find a book to love.

Many of these items are requested by students. We would be delighted to provide them. Thank you for your help with making it happen.
