My Project

These books will provide the opportunity for all students to see themselves represented in the school library collection. The school library collection should be a place where every student can find a book that matches their interest, reading level, and life experiences. These books will help enhance our collection to meet those goals. They will provide student enrichment because they will help students choose books for independent reading that are representative and appropriate for their reading level. They will improve the social, emotional, and mental health of students by making students feel seen and represented in the collection.
