Books for Our School Library

Help me give my students many new books to add to our school library.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Wilhelm's classroom raised $1,881

My Project

Our library is the heart of our school. Our students look forward to going to the library every week.

When our students are there, they often ask for books that we don't have.

Because we want everyone to find a book that they love, we have an open wish list that we constantly add to. Our students know that their opinions matter, and they love adding to this list. When the books they have suggested arrive, their faces light up.

I am asking for many new books to add to our school library. The books are a variety of fiction and nonfiction. There are picture books for our younger readers, and chapter books for our older readers. There should be something for everyone! I know our students will be thrilled when these titles arrive.
