Dream Library Space for My Middle School Students!

Help me give my students the library books and shelves that they deserve!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Duran's classroom raised $2,026

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am working to make my school's library an absolute DREAM space for my students; they deserve lots of wonderful books to choose from so they can become lifelong readers. Right now, we are missing some key series and topics to truly reach every single reader.

I am looking for funding for new books to support my school's nearly 300 students with their reading this year.

I know that having many diverse, interesting texts to choose from will help them grow!

The books will supplement our school library, which reaches all of our students.
