My Project

The students at my school love to read! They are excited to visit our school's media center and check out the titles on our new book shelf. I'd love to be able to welcome them back to school for the new school year with some new books to build an excited buzz about reading right from the start. This project will restock our shelves with the latest and greatest new books and keep readers coming back for more.

This project includes high interest graphic novels, middle grade books, and early graphic novels for our media center collection to encourage readers to use their voice and choice to pick their own reading materials.

I've also added some book tape to help keep our books in good condition so that they can be enjoyed again and again.

I've selected each of the books in this project with the interests of our readers in mind. The variety of titles and genres selected will ensure that there's something for every reader to keep them visiting the media center--and building a love of reading! Thank you for supporting this project and helping us to achieve this goal.
