As a first year librarian, this project will help update the library I inherited. Even though we have 16,000 books in our library, only 1% of these books are actually checked out by students. The reason so few books are actually checked out by students is because the average age of the books in our library is over 20 years old! Also, many books have torn pages, covers, and liquid damage. Students want current books with interesting topics to read. Fulfillment of this project will not only provide students with new books to choose from but also books they are able to relate to and show interest towards. Students are constantly asking for new books and have taken it upon themselves to make a list of books and graphic novels they would enjoy reading.
