Books to Hook Readers

Help me give my students some fun series books to get them hooked on reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sheri's classroom raised $539

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are eager to come to the library each week and I want them to be just as excited to keep coming back because they know there are lots of amazing books to choose from. Life-long readers are successful humans!

Getting kids hooked on books is my number one job as a library media specialist.

It's so important to have a variety of books in my library so every student can find something they love. These series books will help get my readers excited about reading every last one in the set.

Library books have a lasting impact because they can be read over and over by many, many readers over many years.
