My Project

As we approach the end of the year, I am already planning our maker materials for the Fall. I am also evaluating how we organize the library and display books so every user can find what they want. Our sticker art books have been exceedingly popular this year and I want to continue this into next year.

Organization can make a huge difference in a child's happiness in school.

Are they able to connect with books, find activities to expand their knowledge, and be more independent? These are questions I ask myself every day. My hope is with this small grant, we can make some improvements to how we display books in the library using the organizer bins.
