My Project

I am hoping to expand my classroom library and provide more high interest books for my students. Many of my students like to read, but they can't seem to find the books they're looking for on my shelves or in the school library.

Since they are eighth graders, they are looking for books that are more relevant to their lives; however, the school library serves PreK-8, so they have limited space and funds to buy specific books.

Having books readily available to these students will help encourage them to become the life-long readers I know they can be.
