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

We have a small but popular class library, and we encourage our students to check out and read anything they want. Many of our students have never built a habit of reading for pleasure, and they appreciate the opportunity to browse from a diverse selection of titles.

Please help us add to our library a selection of modern, classic, fantasy and sci-fi, with an emphasis on black and female authors.

We have a large collection of YA, but only a small selection of literary and genre fiction. Thank you!
