My Project

Our school is an urban Title 1 school. The students enjoy reading and love their library time. The picture book collection is just mediocre. I would like to beef up the library collection with authors and illustrators that I know the students enjoy!

These authors and illustrators are popular with my students.

I want my students to love what they read. With these new books they will be eager to check them out and read something that interests them. I want my school to be reading books that are relevant, fun, and engaging. With your support, they will!
