My Students

My students come from a rural community with high levels of poverty in our community but not much diversity. My library serves as a place where students can work on projects, study with friends, and get lost in a good book.

Some of those books help students see themselves in the books and others help students understand other cultures and ways of life.

My Project

Each year the Missouri Association of School Librarians nominates middle school-aged books to be nominees for the Truman Readers Award. This is a great list of books each year for students to read.

Buying multiple copies of the Truman Readers Award nominees ensures that more kids will be able to read these great titles.

In our library, we motivate students to read the Truman Readers Award by offering incentives for reading them. There are always long waiting lists for these titles so buying multiple copies is very helpful. This year with limited funds, it is not possible for us to buy multiple copies.
