My Project

I am competing with social media, online video games, and 24/7 earbuds constantly blasting content into my students' brains. I need the best, most relevant, newest, and most exciting books to lure my students away from this electronic nightmare!

My students need to be reading great, inspiring books instead of languishing on social media!

My classroom library is in great need of an update, but the newest books are extremely expensive and I have no budget for books. Help! I want to be able to put beautiful, new, interesting books into my students' hands in an effort to 'love' them off of their electronics. This is a HARD pivot. Please help me infuse my library with tempting, highly sought after, intriguing reading experiences so my students will want to choose to read.
