My Project

Every other year, my school offers a Science Fiction elective where students read sci-fi stories in literature circles. The science fiction section in my library is still growing. While there are certainly students who appreciate this genre, it is often overlooked for the graphic novel, fantasy, and mystery sections. As a result, I have very few books to offer those that take this elective.

The books in this grant are some of the latest sci-fi novels as well as some exciting, high interest titles designed to pull in the most reluctant of readers.

Thank you for helping me get some incredible novels on the shelf that not only will benefit those taking the Science Fiction elective but those who love the sci-fi genre!
