My students need books that can help them escape their lives such as Wonder, Shadow and Bone, and The Infinite Sea.

My Students
The theme in my library is "Oh, the places you will go!" I tell my students that they have the ability to go anywhere they want. Even if it is only in a book.
Most of my students do not have access to a public library.
There are several different reasons. They may not have transportation or they may have family obligations, just to name a few. My students depend on our library to read the wonderful new books that are being published. My students depend on their library to be like a public library. However, it does not have the funding like a public library.
My Project
The materials ( Wonder, Shadow and Bone, and The Infinite Sea) that I am requesting will be checked out by the students. I hope that these materials will help my students to escape their daily lives. I also believe the new books will encourage them to read other books that are similar. The more reading they do will expose them to different worlds.
Life has a way of rearing its ugly head on occasion. Many of my students have had difficult lives. They are able to lose themselves in a great book. My students enjoy reading books as an escape from everyday life.
The students know that the library is a safe and quiet place for them.
The students may struggle academically from time to time and I want my students to want to come to the library. I want them to know that they are always welcomed and have a place of refuge.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
