My Project
This project is a direct request of my 5th-8th grade students! The library has been working towards organizing our biography sections based upon more student friendly terms such as entertainers, historical figures, and influential people. During this process, we have found several holes in our collections that our students have asked us to fill!
We read to know we are not alone.
– C.S. Lewis.
These titles will be placed in our library collection for students and staff to check out from our library. The goal in adding these titles to our collection is to build a more robust biography section and to help our students build their love for nonfiction reading by providing them people they are eager to learn more about.
