Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Hi! I am an elementary school librarian in Baton Rouge, La. I am trying to purchase books for our Free Little Library that I incorporated into my school last year. The students in my school love to borrow books every single day ! They are always excited to see what new books are available. I have run out of books to fill it, and I am looking for help. Please consider helping me to continue inspiring my students love for reading , and increasing fluency at a school wide level. Thanks so much!
