My Project

Books have the magic power to transport students to new worlds and experiences in a straightforward, low-tech way. Having the physical book on the shelf makes it accessible to all students, no matter their access to technology.

The arrival of new books brings a lot of excitement to the library and encourages the kids to invest in the library.

Our area is rural, so our students are interested in redone versions of YA classics, poetry, or books featured on Tiktok. Getting books that cover these interests will help make the library a tool for all students.
