My Project

I come from a small rural public Charter School. I have built an extensive library with my own funds in order to allow these students to explore their love of reading!

I am seeking help in making my library readily accessible and usable for each & every one of my students.

I plan on using the book bins to organize books into categories in order to make it easier for my students to locate their favorites. This will also allow me explicitly teach proper organization skills.

I have also added materials such as over the chair organizers for students to keep a book safe in their space, and also new books to expand upon my reading group materials.
