Our project is intended to increase the variety and quantity of books in our classroom library. Books increase vocabulary, enlighten students to new worlds, and create opportunities for students wherever a book can be found. Books help students to be the best people that they can be. My students are 7th graders, at a multicultural city middle school in Maine. They come from a variety of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, and many of them are learning English as a second language. Budget cuts in our district have reduced many of the services previously in place for English Language Learners and other struggling readers, as well as funding for books.
