My Project

Our school's picture book collection is very dated (with an average age of 20+ years old!) and doesn't include many award-winning books. Teachers often seek out stories that have won awards such as the Newbery and the Caldecott, and kids get extra-interested when they see a book with one of those golden or silver medals on the front. Not stocking these titles means we're missing out on opportunities to get students excited about reading!

Even more importantly, many of the newer award-winning books showcase more diverse stories and characters, which is currently lacking in our picture book collection.

Help us fill out and diversify our library shelves with some of these awesome books!
