Biographies for the Library
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Project
We love our biography selection, but it could use a little refreshing. Now is the time to infuse it with new life. Updating our existing collections while bringing in new and wonderful voices will keep our nonfiction books fresh, interesting, and relevant for the students. Whether it be for a class assignment or for the simple pleasure of reading, we are working to curate collections for students that highlight diverse and inclusive people - past, present, young, and old. With your help, we can start here. We will continue to grow our collection providing students with a robust look at influencers in our world.
