My Students

I am a librarian and my students are avid readers. They want the latest and greatest middle grade and young adult titles to read and share. Graphic novels are among their favorite genres. They are encouraged to read outside of class by their teachers which makes for a perfect combination!

I need more money in the campus library budget to purchase graphic novels for our collection to keep my students reading their favorite books!

With the new surge in the production of youth graphic novels, it is hard to purchase copies of ALL of the titles they desire. Providing a variety of popular genres and diverse topics stretches the budget and makes it hard to order the amount of books that are necessary. If Donors Choose can help me with our Graphic Novels, it would be a great way to enhance our collection with books they really want to read RIGHT NOW!

My Project

Liberty Junior High promotes self-selected reading and my campus library is happy to help provide resources. So many students don't enjoy reading but have found success and enjoyment with graphic novels. This is reflected in the high circulation rates of our graphic collection and the popularity among my students of the newest titles that are being published.

I have found that a graphic novel is effective for "hooking" hi/low readers, reluctant readers, special education students, English language learners and newcomers as many of them struggle to enjoy reading.

Maya Angelou says, “Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuous needs, is good for him.”

Our budget for physical books this year has been reduced to help provide more electronic offerings for virtual learning. I still have students who need physical books in their hands, especially graphic style literature.
