Library Supplies for Creative and Academic Success
Help me give my students the essential supplies—like cardstock, colored paper, pens, and markers—they need to complete creative, collaborative, and polished class projects in our school library.
My students use the library not only for reading and research but also as a space to create, collaborate, and complete class projects. Whether they’re designing posters for science presentations, creating visual displays for English assignments, or working on group projects, they need access to basic materials to bring their ideas to life. I want the library to be a well-equipped resource center where all students can create polished, professional final projects, regardless of what they have access to at home.
I’m requesting essential supplies such as cardstock paper, color copy paper, pens, markers, construction paper, glue sticks, scissors, and disinfectant wipes.
These items will support a variety of class assignments, from visual art and multimedia projects to written reports and group displays. Disinfectant wipes will also help us keep shared materials and workspaces clean and safe for everyone.
Having these supplies available in the library ensures that every student has the tools they need to succeed, not just academically, but creatively as well. Your support will empower students to take pride in their work, think outside the box, and present their ideas with confidence. Thank you for helping us make the library a place where learning is hands-on, inclusive, and inspiring!
