My Project

In middle school, we are challenged to keep students reading for learning and pleasure. We need to entice them with quality, high interest titles that they will be excited to check out of our school library! Our library serves about 600 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 funds 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 graphic novels and new releases. 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.
