I love all my students and they are ALL are very special. I want to be able to give my students intriguing informational exciting non-fiction books.

Our library has always focused on Fiction literature, I have a lot of students who are requesting updated informational nonfiction literature.

We have an abundance of outdated non-fiction material and would like to be able to offer my students new and updated material.
