My Project
I'm the new library media coordinator at our school, and I recently received confirmation that there aren't enough funds for a designated book/library supply budget this year. Despite the lack of funding, I'm determined to do everything I can to make the library a cozy, engaging place where my students can comfortably create, read, and relax!
The past year has been rough for OHS students, and they truly deserve any and all possible perks for their ongoing resilience since Hurricane Helene devastated our community in the Black Mountain/Swannanoa area last September.
One of my main goals during my first year at OHS is to add fresh, engaging titles to our library collection. My book wish list for the library is truly never ending -- the average publication date of books in the collection is 2005 (before my students were born!) and as I continue to connect with students and learn more about their interests, I think of more books I want to add to our collection! This list includes some nonfiction titles as well as horror/mystery and romance. I'd also like to introduce reading prizes to further engage/reward teen readers (especially the reluctant ones)!
I will be forever grateful for any support that helps provide my students with amazing new books to read.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
