My Project

The students at my school are so fascinated each and every time we get new books in our library. They are amazed at the different types of texts and books that are actually out there! This project will bring current texts that are extremely popular among both students and staff into our school library. Books like How It Happened that are intriguing nonfiction reads and Escape From Mr. Limoncello's Library that are awesome graphic novels are included in this project.

Your donation will bring the most current texts into our library, where students who usually do not have access to current literature and come from various backgrounds, will have access to some of the highest recommended, must-have books!

It is my focus this year to update this library and give students access to as many high quality materials as possible. This project would bring new fiction, nonfiction, and graphic novel selections into our library. I would love for my students to have the opportunity to have access to these awesome new books.
