Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a librarian, I want to give my students the best possible experience when choosing books. Right now, our youngest readers need new book bins to help them easily find and enjoy their favorite stories. These bins will make it easier for our kindergarten and first-grade students to explore the shelves independently and develop a lifelong love for reading.

Your support can make a big difference in creating an organized and welcoming space for these young learners.

Together, we can inspire a love of reading and imagination in their lives!

If you’d like to help, please reach out or donate to support our library’s needs. Thank you for investing in our students’ futures!
