My Project

Our school library has been growing with the help of donations to projects on DonorsChoose. Many of these are series that always have the newest volumes coming out year after year. This project has many continuations to the series we have, and new series based on authors or illustrators.

You can never have enough books.

I am taking advantage of this funding opportunity because all great book series just continue to grow volume after volume, and we need to catch up on the newest books in our favorite series!

These books will continue the love of reading with students getting to keep living in their favorite stories for another book. I have many past students who are excited to borrow many of these newest books after starting the series.
