My Students

Remember the days of date due cards and waiting and stamping? Help us skip all that with more scanners!

My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the library is the place that equalizes them.

We have students from around the block and around the world. We have students that are learning English and that are learning other languages. Give to a school that has many cultures, diversity, and adversity!

My Project

My students need 2 new scanners so we can have more checkout computers! My students will be able to spend more time reading and less time waiting. I am hoping to have more parent volunteers to help check out at all times and eventually even move to self checkout for our older students. The library is all about access to materials and having 2 extra scanners will help us give students access to books. They will learn and build their reading skills by having more access to books!

This donation will help every student in the school have access to books.

By having 2 extra scanners more students can check out at the same time! It will help all our students have books on their level and beyond to support and further their literacy skills.
