My Project
The library is an essential resource for my students, and I'm hoping to give it a fresh update by expanding the non-fiction section with new, engaging, and educational books.
A well-rounded non-fiction section will provide my students with the tools to explore new topics, build critical thinking skills, and develop a deeper understanding of the world.
My students are eager to learn about the world around them, from science and history to biographies and how things work. However, many of the current non-fiction books are outdated or no longer relevant.
For many of my students, the library is their only place to access books on a variety of subjects that spark curiosity and foster academic growth.
My goal is to update and expand our non-fiction collection by purchasing a diverse range of books that reflect the interests and needs of my students.
