My Project

As we continue to expand our library selection at our school, we are asking that you help make our current selection of titles more diverse.

Our goal is for every student to see themselves and their interests reflected in our library collection.

Your donation can help us achieve just that.

In addition to providing students with the books they've requested, and books that will engage their interests long-term, we want students to feel their identities are reflected in the books we have on-site. The simple act of seeing one's own experience reflected, in some way, in a book available is not only validating, but it increases the likelihood that books become an important facet of their lives.
