My Project

My cart includes a calendar for displaying upcoming library events, activities, celebrations, and important dates, along with popcorn and individual popcorn bags.

Popcorn supplies will help make the library a welcoming, engaging space for students, especially during special activities and programs

The calendar will keep students informed and encourage them to participate in special programs, projects, and library parties.

Popcorn will be served as a fun incentive and treat during reading activities, makerspace, celebrations, and other student events. These items will support participation, build excitement, and create positive library experiences.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
