My Project

My students love visiting the library and discovering new people and places, and events! Non-fiction books are especially popular, but they can become outdated pretty quickly. Popular/famous new people and events necessitate that the non-fiction books collection needs to continue growing. The Who Was biographies will allow the students to learn about new people that they have yet to discover and will provide good resources to use for book reports and projects. My students love the fun format of the Who Was? books. They make biographies engaging and easy to digest!
