My Project

We were fortunate to be able to order some new nonfiction animal titles for our collection and update a collection that dated back to the 1980's and 1990's. Our students in all grade levels ask for and check out these nonfiction titles constantly.

Please help us update our nonfiction animal titles and have more books available for student check out!

We have over 580 students at our school and one of the most popular areas of the library is the nonfiction animal section. We have students that ask every check out if we have any new "animal books" - please help us add new animal books for our young researchers!
