My Project

We are always trying to find ways to encourage reading at our school. I evaluated our library recently and quickly realized our high school section was in desperate need of updating.

My high school students deserve books that reflect the world they live in as well as experience new worlds both real and imaginary.

I selected these books based on award-winning lists, diversity of authors and range of genres. These books will be in the library and available for circulation with the hope being that there is something for everyone to get started on their reading journey!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
