I serve over 330 students in the fifth and sixth grade in our intermediate school. Our diverse student body comes from six of the seven continents. They are joyful learners and readers that inspire me with their enthusiasm every day. Some have no access to the public library as their parents are not users. Many do not have their own books in their homes. Though they come to the library weekly as part of school, I am hoping to create opportunities for them to come after school and even over the summer. Library use improves literacy, curiosity, and life long learning.
