My Students

Students visit our school library both on their own and with their classes. They eagerly flock to my shelves to read books that spark their interests. Keeping the library shelves stocked with compelling books — and keeping those books in good condition can be a difficult task.

My students are a great bunch of kids and they come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.

With all of my students, nearly every book genre and subject are in demand.

When students have access to books that interest them, they love to read. Our students tend to be less economically well off, and I want to ensure that they still have equal access to the materials that are available to students in wealthier neighborhoods.

My Project

Our first "normal" year after the pandemic is still underway, and there are many challenges my students and fellow teachers are facing. One particular problem I have at the moment is a lack of the most popular titles. Many books never returned after our two years at home, and others came back in pieces. I'd like to replace more of the most popular titles to ensure that more of my students are reading.

The best way to keep kids reading is by giving them access to the books they want to read.

All the books in this list have been requested or read by my students at one time or another; I'd just like to replace the missing copies so that my students can keep reading them!
