My Project

My students love spending time in our classroom library. It's a great place to take a needed break with a good book and a comfy cushion. For many of my students school is the only place where they have access to good quality children's literature.

Our classroom has so many great titles but what it's lacking is a good storage system!

I would like to provide my students with a more welcoming and organized space so that finding a book and putting it away when they're finished is easier and less frustrating.

Our library can quickly become disorganized and this new furniture and book bins will help make the space more accessible to everyone, and help them become better readers!
