My Project

I love how curious middle grade students are. They are constantly looking up things on Google to satisfy their curiosity unlike years from the past when books were used to address such curiosities.

I want to help them see that books can give them great and accurate information that allows them more opportunities to really understand and contemplate what they are learning.

Your donation would add some interesting updated non-fiction books to our outdated collection. These new titles can help foster the idea to answer their curiosities by reading a book instead of scrolling on a screen.
