My Project

Funding is always limited, but when students come into the library asking for books I do not own, it is a little sad. I keep a running list of the titles they want. I let my students know that I will be able to order them next year, when the funding renews.

However, I soon realized that perhaps my community might be willing to help us acquire these titles sooner rather than later.

This project is a list of titles requested by students. These are books my kids want to read. You may notice that the range is wide...this is because I serve all students, from the special education classes to the dual enrollment scholars. Above all, I want all my students to come to the library, find something they love, and foster a neverending habit of reading.
