There are almost 2,000 students in our K-5 school. I am lucky to work with an extremely diverse student population with multiple languages and cultures represented. However, these students are from low-income families who do not have the resources that I was fortunate to grow up with. When students come to library their excitement can barely be contained. We have a newer library that students visit twice a month. It is a special treat to visit. Since our students don't have many nice books at home, they truly appreciate their library. The wide-eyed, look of awe is priceless, as they step in and get to select their own books. It is something I want to foster. My students have a want to be in the library that is special and with their own school supplies and award winning books I can continue to develop their passion for the library and reading.
