My Project

As a librarian, I know the importance of information. One of the most important ways that I can accomplish this is by providing age/grade appropriate reading materials and resources for our students.

Climate change and the environment are hot, ever-evolving topics that our students need to be knowledgeable about so they can improve our planet and be better informed on the issues, problems and solutions.

If they know better, they can do better and they will be more informed to take care of the planet, its resources and its plants and animals for future generations.
