My Project

My goal is to build a robust library collection at Center One filled with best-selling novels written for teens.

I need books that will engage readers of all skill levels.

Ideally, these books would address a wide range of interests and serve as a gateway to more complex texts over time.

My hope is that these texts will provide students with appropriately challenging, yet accessible books that will boost their confidence and competence in reading. Ultimately, I hope this collection will foster a love of reading that lasts beyond their high school experience.
