My Students

My students visit our school library both on their own and with their classes. They eagerly flock to my shelves to read books that spark their interests. Keeping the library shelves stocked with compelling books—and keeping those books in good condition—can be a difficult task.

My students are a great bunch of kids and come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.

With all of my students, nearly every genre and subject are in demand. When students have access to books that interest them, they love to read. Our students tend to be less economically well off, and I want to ensure that they still have equal access to the materials that are available to students in wealthier neighborhoods.

My Project

Even though my students are working from home, I still have a regular number of readers who visit me every week to borrow books. I'd like to expand our holdings and give them access to more books that they'd enjoy reading.

Students read more when they have access to books they enjoy reading.

Many of my students are fans of fantasy and fairy tales, but few have had a chance to read through the Oz series. Let's expose them to "America's fairy tale" -- the Oz books!

In addition, Action Presidents is a fun look at US history -- now with Teddy Roosevelt!
