Graphic Novels to the Rescue

Help me give my students new graphic novels to replenish our shelves in the media center.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Roland's classroom raised $345

My Project

Graphic novels are flying off the shelves left and right. Students want to read, and we do not have enough graphic novels to meet the demand. The graphic novels we do have are being checked out so frequently that they are wearing down fast.

Graphic novels are the building blocks of getting students motivated and excited to read.

I find that students ask for books "like Dog Man," or "like Smile." I can then direct them to other series that we have in the library. Reading is reading in whatever form students are interested in.

I would love to have more graphic novels for our media center so that students can have more variety in their choices and also increase the number of books I have on the shelves each day.
