My Students

The middle school students I work with are excited to be back in the media center. For two years they have been having to order books through the online catalog and have us deliver them to their classrooms. When they come in to the library, this might be the first time for them since elementary school. They love to see the displayed books that pique their interest.

My Project

Our students have just started to come back to the media center face to face since the pandemic started. They are so happy to be here and to be checking out books. Many have expressed interest in new books and books that complete some series already on the shelf.

Getting books into the hands of our students is my number one goal.

Please help me be able to excite them about reading by giving them new content that they requested. Thank you very much for supporting me and our school with your donation.
