My Project

Our library serves a variety of readers with diverse reading interests and tastes! We're hoping to provide more choices in the area of fast-paced, adventurous, and humorous reads that are, at the same time, inviting to some of our more reluctant readers still finding their favorite reading paths.

We're hoping to expand our collection of accessible, inviting, and inspiring reads with a focus on science fiction and space adventure!

We suspect our students will really enjoy these titles and we plan to feature them in their own display to invite interest!
