My Project

Our students LOVE to read! As a school librarian, I work hard to make sure our school library shelves are stocked full of books that the students WANT to read. I focus on new and engaging texts so that when they come to the library for checkout, they can always find something that they are excited to read.

If we want to make students readers, we have to focus on getting them high quality texts that are new and interesting to them!

If you were to give to this project, you would allow me to add new and exciting books to our library shelves that kids can check out and enjoy for years to come!
