Building a Sports Library to Excite Kids About Reading

Help me give my students high interest books that will excite them about reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lind's classroom raised $531

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school district boasts the most diverse student population in our state and is the fifth most diverse district in the country!

It is our mission in the library to make sure that every child sees themselves well-represented on our shelves.

And that means providing books ABOUT what they love.

Encouraging students to read what they like is critical to creating lifelong readers.

With a current sports library, we can use many of our students' first priority (sports) to lure them to the love of reading.

By building our book collection to represent the interests of the student population of the school, students will see that they are valued and respected and capable of achieving what they set their minds to.
