Learning to Love Reading in Library

Help me give my students a chance to expand their love for reading with stories and titles they love!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. O'Neil's classroom raised $256

My Project

Hello everyone! When student's come to my library, they are always so eager to see if their favorite book title is back on the shelves! Seeing my students excited to read is truly the best part about being a librarian!

Many students start to grow their love for reading through popular titles, but unfortunately, over the years, many of these books have been ripped, go missing, or are too damaged to take out.

My goal with this project is to grow these popular book collections so that students are constantly engaged and excited for reading! Many of my students are only able to check out books they enjoy while they are at school, so I want to provide as many books as possible!
