My Project

They say the library is the heart of the school. After doing a massive weeding of old and outdated books from as far back as the 60's & 70's, I am now tasked with filling those shelves with current books that will appeal to our teens. As students come to the library and see items that relate to them, they become more interested in reading and coming back for more. Libraries have to evolve to meet our students needs, and with your help, we will be well on our way to meeting that goal.

Mrs. Castaneda
Grades 9-12
  • Mazama High School
  • Klamath Falls, OR
    • More than half of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 680 students.
