My Project

Our library serves about 615 students in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. It is a constant challenge to keep our library collection updated and in good condition with the limited funds that are available for new books.

Our school library needs a 'Library Lifeline' to help us keep our collection of books enticing and relevant to our students.

We need to continually add high-interest titles in all subject areas and formats including hot items like new releases. Students also need books to help them complete their reading challenges. All of the books will be available for check out to all of our students.

This donation will allow us to add to our collection and keep our students reading! Books will be available through our library to all of our students for many years to come.
