My Students

I am the Librarian at a Title I school serving PreK-6th-grade students, all of whom receive 100% free school lunch. Many of our students have limited English, low language skills, and very little parent involvement. We have approximately 400 students. We have 19 languages represented. Approximately 29% are Pacific Islander, 20% African American, 12% Hispanic, 12% Native American, 10% Multiracial, 10% White, and 6% Asian.

Let's create more readers!!

We have students with rough lives. Students who don't speak English. They see themselves in books, no matter what their circumstances. The students love new books, let's give them a good selection to choose from and keep students reading.

My Project

I am on a mission to have great books in my library for my students. Books from the this decade, not the 1990's. I am trying to update our collection with books students want to read. Not old books that are in poor shape.

These are books kids will want to read!

We know when kids want to read that leads to great things!

**Better readers

**More knowledgeable students

**A love of reading which leads to lifelong readers

Slowly but surely I am surrounding my students with rich, enticing literature. With your help my cool students will have some pretty cool books to read.
