Building a Library, Book by Book

Help me give my students and others quality diverse books for the classroom library.

My Project

Our students love reading time and need some quality literature to add to the library. Unfortunately, most classroom don't come stocked with a classroom library and if there are books, they are not always engaging for students.

Students deserve to have access to books in the classroom.

This project will give them access to some amazing fiction and non fiction books that are diverse and inclusive.

Our school is rewriting the curriculum so this is a great time to add some quality texts into our class. We also want to share some of our favorites with our classes.
