My Project

Hello,

I am the new librarian for MMS.

I am so thankful for this opportunity, and I am hoping to get some new library books so my students can all share in the enjoyment of some of our most popular and favorite books! I also have requested some markers and shelf labels to assist students in finding books.

Of the books I requested, some are written in Spanish, some are graphic novels, and some are new releases, but all will be greatly loved by the students here in our library. "The Hunger Games" and the "Babysitters Club" series both are very popular, and we could use another copy of those books. I found many books we do not yet have in our library that offer diverse perspectives for the students here. My goal is to nurture the kids' love of learning and reading.
