My Project

We are always looking for new and exciting materials to add to the shelves in the Library Media Center. Students are more likely to check out books when there are newer titles and topics that interest them.

Our school library is also a part of our public library system.

By adding new titles to our school library, this will give students throughout our school the opportunity to borrow books from our collection.

Students visit the Library Media Center once a week. It will be great to offer these new materials to the students on their weekly visits.
