Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Every day the line of students that comes visit our Little Free Library grows bigger and bigger! But the amount of books we have to give away grows smaller and smaller!

I love being the person that is lucky enough to connect you to our "book-hungry" students!

Every time I get a chance to talk to the students that visit our Little Free Library, I like to ask them if they like the books available, if they like the bookmarks, and what type of books they would like to have. They have loved the books that you have helped us give them. They love the bookmarks that you have helped us give them as well. And these are the most popular answers to that last question, "Harry Potter" and "Manga".

I know and love Harry Potter books, so I added both the regular and illustrated versions so that you can help us get them for our students. I don't know much about "Manga" but I added the first book sets search results that I recognized and asked students about them too. These Harry Potter and Manga books will be given out to students that visit the Little Free Library and provide me with a book report on one of the regular books available to them.
