My Project

I would love to add more biographies about United States Presidents to our school library. Every year the students do a project to learn about the U.S. Presidential history and focus on a individual President. Please help the students to learn such a valuable part of United States history.

Our library has limited funds and only has a handful of books limiting the students to information.

All students should be able to research on their President and have access to material to improve the life and longevity of their books.
